Northland man shot in head
A man understood to have a gunshot wound to the head has been rushed to Auckland City Hospital.
A St John spokeswoman said the man was treated at Waipu Medical Centre in Northland before being taken by helicopter to hospital.
The spokeswoman couldn't confirm the exact nature of the man's injuries but said he was in a moderate condition.
Inspector Al Symonds says it does not appear to be a criminal occurrence and police are not looking for anyone in regards to the incident.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
