A South Auckland hotel was briefly put in lockdown on Wednesday after a gun was fired.
The manager of the Allenby Park Hotel in Papatoetoe said guests were safe and no one had been injured.
The hotel has since reopened.
The suspected shooter was not known to anyone at the hotel and fled after the incident, he said.
