One person was taken to hospital in a "serious condition" last night following an incident involving a large group of people and a firearm in Auckland, police said.
Two were taken into police custody after reports of an altercation on Glen Eden's Waikumete Rd just after 8pm on Friday.
Police said a firearm was discharged "immediately following the disorder and one person was transported to Auckland City Hospital with a serious injury consistent with a gunshot wound".
Police located a vehicle, "believed to be used by the offenders" on nearby Claryburn Rd, and the vehicle was stopped by armed police "as a precaution".
"A firearm was seized and two men aged 23 and 27 were arrested."
The men were due to appear in the Waitakere District Court today, "facing charges of committing a dangerous act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm with a firearm, and accessory after the fact to a dangerous act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm".
Police said further charges are being considered.
