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

investigation.

Police will have high visibility in the
Glen Eden and surrounding suburbs

our scene examination in Danube Place as well as
ongoing

events were upsetting to the
community and we hope
our continued presence will be of some
reassurance.
