A person has suffered serious injuries after a late-night shooting incident in east Christchurch. The property is part of a complex owned by government social housing agency Kāinga Ora. JOSEPH JOHNSON/STUFF Social housing has changed since Lynda McKenzie first moved in 17 years ago, describing it as being a slum now. In March, an alleged knife-wielding offender got into a stand-off with police at another social housing unit in the Christchurch suburb of Waltham. There was also a homicide at a Wellington social housing unit last week, where a Mt Cook woman was killed.
