Two civilians are dead and ten are injured after a shooting attack in downtown Auckland CBD.
The 24-year-old gunman stormed a Britomart building under construction just before 7:30 this morning.
Auckland mayor Wayne Brown says this is something that we're not used to.
"It is safe to be here, it's a shock to Aucklanders. We all feel terribly upset and sad for the people whose families and lives have been wrecked. Also for the workers, whose normal day at work became a terrifying experience."Â
