Armed police stand guard outside Māngere, Auckland, house after shots fired
Police are investigating after multiple gunshots were fired at a South Auckland address last night.
A police spokesperson said officers were called to a house on Outrigger Place, Māngere, at about 9.25pm, where shots caused exterior damage.
“Multiple gunshots were fired at a house causing exterior damage. No one was injured.”
Photos from the scene showed a hole in the front window of the house and smashed windows of a car parked in the driveway.
“At this early stage police are still working to establish the circumstances surrounding the shooting including whether it is gang-related,” a spokesperson said.
“A scene examination will be carried out this morning.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police via 105 quoting file number 240720/4332.
The incident was the latest in a series of drive-by shootings during the past few months.
They include a shooting at a family home on Roscommon Road on the border of Weymouth, and another drive-by in a Glen Innes cul-de-sac.
Earlier in June two homes were targeted in one night – one in Onehunga and a second in Māngere East.
Last month, another house in Māngere was shot up overnight, leaving doors and windows riddled with bullet holes.
Police were called to Plumley Crescent in the suburb on June 24 after receiving multiple 111 calls.
A man was shot dead in his car in Mt Wellington last week.
The victim, Texas Doctor, was a Rebels MC member whose father joined the gang to protect his family amid a bitter and violent neighbourhood feud.
