Counties Manukau Police are seeking information regarding the whereabouts of 29-year-old Tony Moses who was admitted to Middlemore Hospital early this morning with a single gunshot wound to his lower abdomen.

Moses left the hospital of his own volition soon after being admitted.

Moses requires urgent medical treatment and surgery to remove the projectile.

Detectives are investigating the circumstances of the shooting and cannot rule out the possibility that the injury was accidentally self-inflicted.
