Shot Auckland man stable

14:37 pm on 30 December 2013

A man shot in the chest in the Auckland suburb of Kelston is in a stable condition.

Brent Dudley received a single gunshot wound on Friday night and was rushed to hospital with serious injuries.

He is the father of Stephen Dudley, who died after a fight at a school rugby practice in June this year.

A .22 calibre rifle was recovered from the scene where Mr Dudley was shot.

A 39-year-old woman has appeared in court charged with assaulting him.

Two teenagers charged with the manslaughter of Stephen Dudley, who was 15, will face trial in February 2014.
