Brooklyn firearms incident
Wellington Police are appealing for information after a shotgun was fired at a residential complex on Sunday afternoon.
Police were called to the Brooklyn Road property about 3.30pm on 2 November.
While nobody was hit, we believe the incident targeted a specific individual, who suffered moderate injuries fleeing to safety.
It is concerning that an offender has discharged a firearm in a highly populated apartment building and we are aggressively pursuing every lead in order to locate the offender.
It is appalling violence that put a number of people at risk and could have had a very different outcome.
There will be an increased Police presence in the area to provide reassurance and safety to the community.
There will be members of the public who saw the offender or know who they are.
We urge anyone with information that could help the investigation to contact Police via 105 and use the reference number 251102/6491.
You can also report information anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
