A cordon remains in place in the inner Auckland suburb where a person was believed to have been fatally shot.

Armed police were outside a house on Tuarangi Road in Grey Lynn on Thursday night and the street was cordoned off.

RNZ's reporter at the scene said the cordons were still in place on Friday morning.

He said armed officers were still standing guard as well.

"A blue forensic tent is still set up outside a set of housing units."

People were starting to gather at the cordon, he said.
