A man involved in a dramatic shooting incident in Christchurch is said to have allegedly opened fire at police "confidently" and without hesitation. He confidently got out of that car, went around the front and opened fire. "It was definitely the gunman that acted first, and whatever they did was the right thing to do. The man presented a firearm, believed to be a shotgun, and fired at police," Price said. Officers from the Armed Offenders Squad went forward, the offender presented a firearm at them and fired a shot.
