Police are piecing together a violent incident in east Christchurch last night to establish how a person was shot and seriously wounded. Emergency services were called to Aldershot St in Aranui about 10.20pm after a firearms incident was reported. One person was taken to Christchurch Hospital in a serious condition. A police spokesperson said this morning initial indications were that the incident was family harm-related. Officers were still at the scene and the house - owned by Kainga Ora, formerly Housing New Zealand - was cordoned off.
