A man has now been charged following a firearms incident in Massey on Wednesday night.
Around 7.49pm on 21 October, Police responded to reports a man was allegedly possession of a long-barrelled weapon and had pointed it at a neighbour.
The incident was brought to a conclusion before 11pm, where the Armed Offenders Squad entered the house and the man was subsequently shot.
Acting Superintendent Matt Laurenson, Waitematā District Commander, says charges have since been laid.
A 55-year-old man has been charged with threatening to kill, assaulting a person with a weapon and presenting a firearm at a person. He appeared in the Waitākere District Court today via a bedside hearing and was remanded in custody.
"He underwent surgery yesterday and is now in a stable condition," Acting Superintendent Laurenson says.
"I want to acknowledge the staff involved in this incident who have worked in difficult circumstances to ensure this matter could be resolved."
