One person was taken to hospital in a "serious condition" last night following an incident involving a large group of people and a firearm in Auckland, police said.
Two were taken into police custody after reports of an altercation on Glen Eden's Waikumete Rd just after 8pm on Friday.
Police said a firearm was discharged "immediately following the disorder and one person was transported to Auckland City Hospital with a serious injury consistent with a gunshot wound".
"The injuries are not life threatening and the person remains in hospital in a stable condition," a spokesperson said this afternoon.
Police located a vehicle, "believed to be used by the offenders" on nearby Claryburn Rd, and the vehicle was stopped by armed police "as a precaution".
"A firearm was seized and two men aged 23 and 27 were arrested."
The men were due to appear in the Waitakere District Court today, "facing charges of committing a dangerous act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm with a firearm, and accessory after the fact to a dangerous act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm".
Police said further charges are being considered.
Appeal for video footage
In a statement today, police appealed for footage of the altercation.
"Police know people videoed the incident and we are appealing for that footage to assist with our enquiries," it said.
"We understand this may have been a distressing incident for anyone who witnessed it."
Anyone with video footage or information was asked to contact police on 105 and reference file number: 240726/5258
