Police shot and critically injured a man in the Auckland suburb of Papatoetoe last night. Officers were called to a house in Avis Avenue before six o'clock after a shot was fired through the window of a neighbouring home. Armed police and the Eagle helicopter went to the scene and cordons were put in place. Just before 8:30, a man came out of the first house with a firearm and was shot by police. Reporter Sarah Robson is at the cordon.
