A teenager is in a stable condition after being shot in Auckland early this morning with injuries to his back and arms.

A police spokesperson said the 18-year-old male was driven to Auckland's Middlemore Hospital by a friend just before 4am.

The spokesperson said it appeared the shooting was not related to a drive-by shooting in Mount Wellington just after midnight.

In that incident, shots were fired at a house on Tomuri Place.

No-one was injured.

Police are investigating both incidents.
