A woman is in a stable condition in hospital after being shot in the leg during an assault in Auckland's Mount Wellington last night.
At around 8pm, ambulance staff advised police an injured woman had been found at a property on Mt Wellington Highway.
Auckland City CIB Acting Detective Inspector Craig Bolton said officers attended a short time later and cleared the address.
"The woman was taken to hospital in a serious condition after being assaulted and suffering a gunshot injury to her leg," he said.
"I can confirm she is now in a stable condition."
Two men were seen leaving the address by the police helicopter, and they were taken into custody at the time. They have since been released without charge.
St John sent one ambulance, one rapid response vehicle and an operations manager.
"Police are following lines of inquiry into the incident, and a scene examination will take place at the property today," Bolton said.
An armed scene guard remained in place.
Anyone with further information about what occurred at the address should contact police online, by calling 105, or anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
1News footage from the scene showed emergency services, including armed police officers, investigating at the cordoned-off road.
