Show Notes

Three gunmen are on the run following separate shootings in the past week.

Police are hunting 24-year-old Dariush Talagi, after two people were shot on Queen Street in Central Auckland on Thursday night.

Auckland police have also launched a homicide investigation, after a man was shot at Taurima Reserve in Point England on Saturday.

Another person later showed up at Middlemore Hospital with a gunshot wound, and police are looking at whether the cases are linked.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the uptick in shootings is unbelievable, and more Kiwis have good reason to be worried.
