Whenuapai shooting: Man in hospital

A man has been taken to hospital after being shot in the back in Whenuapai, west Auckland, this morning.

Police said a man had gunshot wounds to the lower back and buttock area after an incident about 4.30am on Brigham Creek Road.

The 33-year-old was taken to Auckland Hospital and is in a critical condition, police say.

Brigham Creek Road was partly closed between State Highway 16 and Joseph McDonald Drive, but has since reopened.

Detective Senior Sergeant Marcia Murray said initial enquiries suggested the man was shot outside a property on Brigham Creek Road.

A scene examination is underway and police have asked anyone with information relating the incident to call Waitematā Police.
