Two men have been arrested after a pair were injured in a shooting in Gore this week.
Officers were called to a house on Aparima St after reports of gunshots shortly before 8pm on Wednesday.
They were airlifted to hospital, where one of the victims remained. The other had since been discharged.
Police said two men, aged 36 and 54, were arrested in Invercargill on Thursday.
Inspector Mike Bowman said investigators had been following a number of lines of inquiry but that information from the public had proved invaluable.
"We want to thank the community for their help so far, the support we’ve had from the public shows people aren’t willing to tolerate violence like this.
"The arrests are the result of excellent work across the team involved and help from the public."
Bowman said police still needed to hear from anyone with relevant information, adding "even the smallest detail can make a big difference".
A visible police presence would be in Gore over the coming days as they carried out reassurance patrols, he said.
Both men were due to appear in the Invercargill District Court today on a range of charges.
