Two men have been arrested and charged with attempted murder following a double shooting in Auckland.
The shootings happened in Epsom and Hillsborough on 25 August 2023, with police confirming it was a gang-related incident.
The two men, aged 24 and 21, appeared in Auckland District Court today charged with attempted murder and other serious charges.
Detective Inspector Tom Gollan said young children were among those at the Epsom address when shots were fired from a vehicle.
"At the second address in Hillsborough, a firearm was discharged at a male occupant."
While no one was physically injured, the victims were left traumatised and continue to receive support, police said.
He said two cars that were allegedly used in the shootings, were located nearby and had been set on fire.
"Police take these matters extremely seriously and will continue their work to hold people to account. We are not ruling out further arrests or charges."
