Two men have been arrested over a shooting in Gore this week.<\/p>\n
The pair \u2013 aged 36 and 54 \u2013 were arrested in Invercargill on Thursday afternoon (18 December).<\/p>\n
Both men are facing a range of charges and are due to appear in Invercargill District Court today.<\/p>\n
One victim remains in hospital, recovering from their injuries, while the other victim has been discharged.<\/p>\n
Inspector Mike Bowman, Southland Area Commander says investigators have been following a number of lines of enquiry, 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe investigation still needs to hear from anyone with information who hasn\u2019t yet been spoken to. Even the smallest detail can make a big difference.<\/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
