The woman who was shot in the head in Auckland on Saturday remains in intensive care.
A spokeswoman for Counties Manukau District Health Board said she is in a serious but stable condition at Middlemore Hospital.
She was earlier in a critical condition.
The woman needed surgery to remove the bullet from her skull after an incident at a home on Druces Rd, Manukau about 1.30am on Saturday.
A 60-year-old man with name suppression appeared in the Manukau District Court this morning.
