New Zealand: Police escort workers away from construction site after gunman fatally shoots two

Police escorted workers away from a construction site after a gunman fatally shot two people in Auckland, New Zealand, on Thursday (20 July) as the country prepared to host games in the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

At least four civilians and a police officer were injured and the shooter was dead, authorities said.

The tournament will proceed as planned, New Zealand’s prime minister Chris Hipkins confirmed.
