A woman is in a stable condition in hospital after being shot in the leg during an assault in Auckland’s Mount Wellington last night. <\/p>\n

At around 8pm, ambulance staff advised police an injured woman had been found at a property on Mt Wellington Highway. <\/p>\n

Auckland City CIB Acting Detective Inspector Craig Bolton said officers attended a short time later and cleared the address.<\/p>\n

“The woman was taken to hospital in a serious condition after being assaulted and suffering a gunshot injury to her leg,” he said. <\/p>\n

“I can confirm she is now in a stable condition.”<\/p>\n

Two men were seen leaving the address by the police helicopter, and they were taken into custody at the time. They have since been released without charge.<\/p>\n

“Police are following lines of inquiry into the incident, and a scene examination will take place at the property today,” Bolton said. <\/p>\n

An armed scene guard remained in place.<\/p>\n
