A 34-year-old man has been arrested after a shooting in Manurewa, Auckland.
Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers said officers were called to a property on Marumaru Lane at about 8.45pm on 18 February.
“The offender has gone to the door and asked for the victim, before allegedly shooting him when he came to the door,” Detective Inspector Vickers said.
“The victim was taken to hospital in a serious condition, and was very fortunate to have not suffered life-threatening injuries.”
Armed police carried out search warrants in Takanini and Manurewa in south Auckland at 3pm on Tuesday.
“The alleged offender was not located at either address, but as a result, he handed himself into Papakura Police Station not long afterwards and was taken into custody,” Vickers said.
Two arrests have now been made over the offending.
A 29-year-old woman, who is co-accused, will appear in court on Wednesday after initially being arrested last week.
The man will also appear in the Manukau District Court on Wednesday, jointly charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and commission of an offence with a firearm.
Vickers said further arrests cannot be ruled out as the investigation continues.
