Shooting!
“Police will continue today try to establish the motive for the execution-style shooting of a man in Papatoetoe, South Auckland, early yesterday.
The Maori man, 26, was shot three times at his home while walking to his front door.
The man’s pregnant partner was home at the time of the shooting, and found him collapsed, trying to breathe in spite of wounds to the head and torso.
Detective Inspector John Tims, crime manager for Counties Manukau Police, said the attack was not a random shooting.
“This looks like a planned event; there will be a reason for it and that is what we will work to establish,” he said.” -stuff.co.nz
Another criminal offense…. When will people learn? Things like these that happen in our beloved nation are a real disappointment to us all. I would like to think that I am safe in my own home, but these attacks make me doubt this. Seriously! This is really sad. No matter what the reason is for this offense, it is no excuse. No matter how much people try to stop all these serious crimes, I don’t think New Zealand will ever be immune to them, or any other country. And if this is a planned shooting, which sick mind would plan to go out and seriously injure someone?
What do you think?

I think crime is becoming a greater problem in NZ every day. But I wonder what part are drugs like P playing in this growing crime rate. While I do feel safe in my home, I would be very careful choosing whare I live if I had to move to somewhere like Auckland.
