Northland man shot in head

Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

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 banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
