Hamilton shooting: Parallel homicide inquiry and watchdog investigationPETER DRURY/FAIRFAX NZ Nick Marshall (L) with his father Nelson, in 2006. The incident follows the fatal shooting of Mike Taylor at his Karangahake Gorge property near Paeroa in June. The fatal shooting of well-known mechanic Nick Marshall was the second police shooting in the Waikato region in as many months. In the United States, which has a much larger population and firearm usage, a fatal shooting is almost a daily occurrence. The accidental fatal shooting of courier driver Halatau Naitoko​ during an operation targeting Stephen McDonald was justified but lacked effective command and tactical control.
