A scene examination is continuing at the construction site in central Auckland after a fatal shooting shocked the city yesterday morning.<\/p>\n
The gunman, 24-year-old Matu Tangi Matua Reid, was on home detention but allowed to work at the construction site.<\/p>\n
He died at the scene in a shoot-out with police after killing two civilians with a pump-action shotgun. Six others were injured, including two police officers.<\/p>\n
The horror unfolded on the opening day the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Auckland and a minute’s silence for the shooting victims was held at the first game at Eden Park last night.<\/p>\n
Police officers in high-vis vests have today re-entered the high-rise building on the corner of Queen and Quay streets and at least seven police cars are at the cordoned off site.<\/p>\n
A man working on the repairs at nearby Queen’s Wharf told RNZ the rules had been tightened at their site and people entering were being checked.<\/p>\n
A commuter said there appeared to be extra security at Britomart Station this morning but he felt safe.<\/p>\n
