Three people are dead and eight seriously hurt after a shocking and traumatic shooting in Auckland yesterday.
The gunman, Matu Tangi Matua Reid, is among the dead.
The 24-year-old had worked at a central Auckland construction site, and returned there early yesterday morning with a pump action shotgun and opened fire as he made his way through the building.
At 7:22am multiple 111 calls came in, eleven minutes later the first police were on the scene at One Queen Street.
Two people were already dead on the lower levels of the building, and workers at the site were forced to hide; some could be seen huddling on the open top floor.
