YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A gunman killed two people and injured five others in downtown Auckland on Thursday, just hours before the FIFA Women’s World Cup is due to kick off in New Zealand’s largest city.

The shooter, armed with a pump-action shotgun, discharged the firearm as he moved through a building that’s under construction in Auckland’s central business district around 7 a.m. local time, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins told a press conference. The man barricaded himself in an elevator shaft in the upper levels of the building and exchanged fire with police before being found dead a short time later.

“I want to reiterate that there is no wider national security threat,” Hipkins said. “This appears to be the actions of an individual.”
