Two people are in hospital after a reported shooting at a house in West Auckland late last night - and police are hunting for those responsible.
Police were called to a property on Glengarry Rd, in Glen Eden, after reports of a gun shot,
Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Frost, of Waitematā Police, said.
The incident happened shortly before midnight.
"Two people - a man and a woman - were taken to hospital with moderate injuries."
The circumstances of the incident are not fully known; but police are still working to find others involved in the incident, Frost said.
"Police are making a number of inquiries to identify and locate those responsible.
"Those inquiries are ongoing and a scene examination is being carried out today."
The incident does not appear to be a random event at this stage, police said, and authorities want to reassure the community as a result.
Last night's incident comes after a property was riddled with bullet holes in a drive-by shooting in Mt Roskilll earlier this week.
Police were called to a house on McCullough Ave in the early hours of Tuesday morning, about 1.45am, after reports of multiple shots fired.
Two cars parked outside the house were badly damaged as a result - and a number of windows could be seen sporting bullet holes.
Like last night's incident, police said at the time that the drive-by shooting was not thought to be a random attack.
