Update On Shooting Incident In Glen Eden + Request For Footage

Waitematā District Commander Naila Hassan:

The Police investigation continues after AOS staff shot a man in Glen Eden 
yesterday morning after he opened fire on them.

A post-mortem and formal identification is expected to take place this 
morning and next of kin notifications for the man continue.

Police will not be in a position to release his name until these have been 
completed.

Police along with Victim Support will be working with the man’s family at 
this difficult time.

Three officers, who were shot during the incident, are being well supported. 
One of the officers has been discharged from Auckland Hospital, one is 
expected to be released today and the third officer who underwent surgery 
remains in a stable condition.

Police are aware that a number of people were filming yesterday’s events as 
they unfolded and we are really keen for anyone who has any footage to please 
upload this onto a portal set up specifically for this investigation.

The link to do so is here: https://fixtures.nzpolice.org/

If you are not able to upload it here, then you can contact Police via 105 
quoting file number 211129/7514

Police will have high visibility in the Glen Eden and surrounding suburbs 
while we continue our scene examination in Danube Place as well as ongoing 
area enquiries. We understand yesterday’s events were upsetting to the 
community and we hope our continued presence will be of some reassurance.

Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
