New Zealand shooting – news: Gunman who killed two in Auckland was being monitored for domestic violence



A gunman shot and killed two people and wounded several others in a mass shooting in Auckland, New Zealand.



The gunman also died during the incident, according to police.



Police said at least five people were injured, including a police officer.



The 24-year-old gunman, who hasn't been named yet, was reportedly supposed to be on home confinement for domestic violence charges at the time of the shooting.



The incident comes on the eve of the FIFA Women's World Cup, which is due to kick off on Thursday.

Police commissioner Andrew Coster said the gunman was a 24-year-old who had previously worked at the building site in Aukland and the motivation for the shooting appeared connected to his work there.



The gunman had a history of family violence and was serving a sentence of home detention but had an exemption to work at the lower Queen Street site, Mr Coster said.



The gunman began shooting at about 7.20am and police soon swarmed the area.



He moved through the building firing at people as many workers fled or hid.



The gunman then barricaded himself in an elevator shaft on the third floor, Mr Coster said, where Swat-type officers engaged him after securing the floors above and below.



"The offender fired at police, injuring an officer," Mr Coster said. "Shots were exchanged and the offender was later found deceased."



He said it was not yet clear if police had shot the gunman or he had killed himself. He said the gunman did not have a gun licence and so should not have been in possession of a weapon.

He's been named, but because he's not White, the media will be a bit slow to slam his name and face everywhere...

There goes shotguns for Kucked Kiwis. The will eventually have to spit on their leaders during a revolution because all their guns and knives will be confiscated.

He used a shotgun, so much like Canada's 'gun ban', those weren't on the chopping block...

Ahhh.  So as Lokmar says, those will go next.



If someone want to kill someone, there's not much you can do.  Sounds like this kid had issues with some people he worked with.  A baseball bat or a knife would have worked just as well.

I think non Whites are the majority in Auckland or soon will be, so I knew there was a high probability the shooter was not of Eurpean origin.

Pretty much.  It's cheaper and easier to rent a U-Haul truck than it is to buy a gun, and that truck can cause just as much damage or more...

Appears that Auckland is about 50% White, so it's typical of any larger Western city in that it's very multicultural...

Our Chicago shoot/kill score this last weekend was 62 shot, 7 killed.  I think most were black folks, but I'm sure there were a few latinos and at least one white person.
