Police are still looking for the gunman involved in a suspected shotgun attack outside a construction site in Napier.
The shooting happened in the usually-quiet suburb of Greenmeadows during last Monday's public holiday, outside a housing project at the corner of Tait Dr and Lamason St.
The victim, a man in his 30s, suffered a serious leg injury and had just finished work and was getting ready to leave the site when the incident happened at about 1.15pm.
He was in stable condition a few days after the shooting.
Police have now confirmed the weapon used was believed to be a shotgun.
