Police say a shooting in Murupara happened at a private dwelling and no arrests have been made yet.

A man was shot in the leg on Saturday and taken to Waikato Hospital, where he was in a stable condition, police said yesterday.

Police today said the incident happened at a “private dwelling” and no one else was injured.

“The scene address was secured and held overnight and that included blocking the road directly in front of the scene,” a spokesperson said.

“There have been no arrests or charges brought in relation to this incident, so far.”

Detective Sergeant Phil Wilkinson said police searched a nearby address and the occupants were helping with inquiries.

“Police ask for any information regarding a male seen in the area of Pine Drive, Murupara, between 12pm and 2pm [on Saturday], wearing a green coat/jacket and gumboots,” Wilkinson said.

Information can be reported by calling 105, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, and quoting file number 250705/5800.
