The mother of a boy shot in Auckland last night says he has lost sight in one eye and that "time will tell if he's blind". Police conducted a scene examination this morning after a shooting yesterday in Northcote, North Auckland. It is believed a 16-year-old boy was shot at Cadness St, and his family fear he will go blind. The mother of the victim says while he has definitely lost sight in his left eye, "time will tell if he's blind in the right eye". The mother took to social media and thanked her son's friends for taking him to hospital yesterday, where he arrived after 7pm with a gunshot injury.
