The whānau of a man shot and killed by police in Thames in 2015 say they were let down by both the mental health service and police.
Thirty-year old Vaughan Te Moananui, who had mental health issues, was shot after confronting police and refusing to drop a rifle he was pointing at them.
The inquest into his death is being held in Hamilton.
Our Waikato reporter, Andrew McRae has been there.
