Police officers work at the scene after two officers were shot during a routine traffic stop in Auckland, New Zealand, on June 19, 2020. [Reuters]A New Zealand police officer was killed and another seriously injured on Friday after they were shot during a routine traffic stop, the country’s police commissioner said, as officials urgently hunted for the suspect. “To lose a police officer is to lose someone working for all of us, but also a family member, someone’s loved one and friend,” Ardern said in a statement. New Zealand has tightened gun laws twice since a gunman killed 51 Muslim worshippers in Christchurch last year in the country’s worst peace-time mass shooting.
