Armed police remain on the streets of a small Waikato town after a shooting close to a primary school.

A man was shot-at several times in his car in Taupiri at about half-past-nine this morning.

He was injured, but drove himself to the police station for help.

Police area commander Will Loughrin says children at the school weren't in immediate danger but were put into lockdown as a precaution.
