Crikey; poor kids must be terrified. Not to mention their poor parents.

"Police and the Armed Offenders Squad are responding to what is understood to be a firearms incident on Auckland’s North Shore this afternoon.


Police received reports of gunshots about 10.22am on Main Rd, Huapai. Police advised nearby schools to go into lockdown as a precaution.

Multiple schools are in lockdown as police descend on a nearby address, and would not release any pupils until advised by police.

Chelsea Primary School, Birkdale Intermediate School, Beach Haven Primary School, Birkdale North Primary and Verran Primary School are also now in lockdown.
Please remain in your cars if you are at the school with doors locked. The purpose of a lockdown is to ensure the immediate safety of students, staff and visitors,” the Verran Primary School shared on Facebook."

Luckily it seems to be all OK again now & schools are open again, some people are 'assisting police with their enquiries.'
