Waitematā police are investigating the shooting of a third person in their district in less than 24 hours. A man presented at a hospital on the North Shore about 5am today with gunshot wounds. The shooting is not thought to be connected to the fatal shooting of Constable Matthew Hunt and the wounding of a second officer in Massey yesterday. The officers had tried to stop a vehicle of interest to police just before 10.30am. When Hunt and his colleague approached the car, a man got out and used a long barrelled firearm to shoot them.
