A woman is in hospital in a stable condition after allegedly being shot at a house in Tauranga last night.
Neighbours heard a baby crying after initially hearing a gunshot at approximately 6.30pm, NZ Herald reports.
The woman was taken to Tauranga Hospital where she remains in a stable condition.
"After the shot, I heard a baby crying, and lots of people yelling and screaming, including a woman who I heard say 'look what you have done'," one male neighbour told NZ Herald.
A car then drove off at speed before police arrived, residents reported.
