Returning to our earlier story about the fatal shootings at an Auckland construction site. The 24 year old gunman was on home detention for family violence charges, but police say he was allowed to go to the contruction site at One Queen street where he had worked. Matu Tangi Matua Reid did not have a gun license but was armed with a pump action shotgun when he went on his rampage. Two people were killed, Reid is also dead. Several others were injured, some of them seriously, including a police officer who was shot while the gunman was holed up and firing from a lift shaft in the building. A second officer was also taken to hospital. So far 70 witnesses have been interviewed. Police Commissioner Andrew Coster says it's believed the man had worked there. McGuinness Building contractors, who are working on the site, provided a statement to Checkpoint. It says today's tragic event has been a huge shock to us all. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, and all those impacted by the incident that occurred on our site this morning. We thank the Police and emergency services for their rapid response. Our site team conducted themselves with great courage today and we are providing all our staff and contractors continuing care and support. We understand the perpetrator was an employee of a subcontractor that had been working on the project.
