(MENAFN) A deadly shooting erupted at a residence in New Zealand's lower North Island early Wednesday, claiming one life and leaving three others fighting for survival—a woman and two teenage males.
Authorities responded to the Waitarere Beach property near Levin at approximately 12:40 a.m. after reports of gunfire, discovering four individuals suffering from gunshot injuries, police confirmed.
Emergency responders transported the wounded woman by ambulance to Palmerston North Hospital, while medical helicopters evacuated both teenagers to Wellington Hospital. Another juvenile present at the location escaped physical harm and is now receiving crisis support, according to an official police statement.
