Two men have been arrested over a shooting in Gore earlier this week.<\/p>\n
The pair – aged 36 and 54 – were arrested in Invercargill this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Both face a range of charges and were due to appear in the district court today.<\/p>\n
Two people were flown to hospital after the incident in Aparima St\u00a0on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
One person remains in hospital recovering from their injuries, while the other victim has been discharged, police said.<\/p>\n
In a statement this afternoon, Inspector\u00a0Mike Bowman, Southland Area Commander says investigators have been following a number of lines of inquiry, but information from the public had proved invaluable.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to thank the community for their help so far, the support we\u2019ve had from the public shows people aren\u2019t willing to tolerate violence like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe arrests are the result of excellent work across the team involved and help from the public. The investigation still needs to hear from anyone with information who hasn\u2019t yet been spoken to.”<\/p>\n
Even the smallest detail can make a big difference, Insp Bowman said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the investigation is continuing, officers will have a visible presence in Gore over the coming days as they carry out reassurance patrols and show their support for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
