A homicide investigation has been launched after a man died of his injuries following a disorder incident in Auckland this afternoon.
Police were called after receiving several reports of disorder and the sound of gunshots at Taurima Reserve, in Point England, around 2.40pm, Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Salton said.
A man later self-presented to Auckland Hospital with gunshot wounds, where he later died of his injuries.
