The spokesperson said this was an \u201cisolated incident\u201d and wanted to reassure the Hobsonville community there was no further risk. <\/p>\n
\u201cEnquiries are ongoing to identify further offenders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another spokesperson said the incident was connected to the presence of armed police on Red Hills Rd in Massey about 10pm last night. <\/p>\n
Anyone with information that can assist enquiries is asked to contact police online at 105.police.govt.nz or call 105 using reference number 250916\/8726.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Renfree said a gun had been fired towards a car, but there were no reports of injuries. <\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, one person has been injured with a weapon and transported to hospital with moderate injuries,\u201d Renfree said.<\/p>\n
A nearby worker told the Herald she saw a truck driving erratically in the carpark when the incident unfolded.<\/p>\n
A takeaway shop worker told the Herald she heard three loud bangs and shut her door immediately.<\/p>\n
She saw a black ute driving in the wrong direction around the carpark \u201cvery aggressively\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just so shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jini, a nearby shopper, spoke to the injured man.<\/p>\n
She told the Herald she was at the supermarket for a bag of chips and ducked across to the liquor store, where she saw a black modified jeep drive in the wrong direction in the carpark like a \u201cmaniac\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said the driver appeared to be \u201cvery jittery\u201c.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a lot of noise, sounded like a pop and then a crack,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She then saw a man bleeding from his ear.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a big gash, blood everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said lots of shoppers ran to help, including a paramedic. <\/p>\n
