The gunman stormed the high-rise building in the early morning, opening fire on terrified workers before dying after a police shootout.
THE TWO MEN who were killed at a New Zealand construction site were in their 40s and had worked alongside the gunman before he went on his rampage, police have said.New Zealanders are still in shock over the shooting yesterday, which closed part of Auckland hours before the opening game of the Women’s World Cup, which was held in the city under increased security.Three civilians also remain in hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while two more have been released, authorities said.
The records indicate he used weapons including scissors and a wine bottle, punched her, kicked her in the stomach and squeezed her throat for about 10 seconds, causing her to fear for her life.Reid said something along the lines of: “You don’t know what I’m capable of,” to the woman, the records show, according to Stuff. The woman escaped from Reid and called police.“I do not want to send a young man like you, with a limited history, to prison,” the judge said in his sentencing notes.
New Zealand has tight gun laws, imposed in 2019 after the country’s worst mass shooting prompted a sea change in attitudes toward firearms.
