As stated by Western Bay of Plenty Area Commander, Inspector Clifford Paxton:
One person has been arrested following a firearms incident in Bellevue, Tauranga today.
A person was reported to have discharged a firearm on a property neighbouring Bellevue Primary School.
A firearm was later located at that property.
We understand this has been a distressing incident for the Bellevue community, especially the staff and students at nearby schools.
I want to reassure the community that we are not looking for anyone else in relation to this incident.
