A Whangārei police officer shot at by a fleeing drunk driver has struggled with the incident as it echoed the death of his police college classmate Auckland constable Matthew Hunt.
Hunt, 28, was shot during a traffic stop in West Auckland on June 19 this year.
Judge John McDonald shared the admission as he sentenced Jeffery Cassidy, 23, of Auckland, to seven years prison with no minimum parole for five charges that included shooting at law enforcement, driving in a dangerous manner, failing to stop, and driving with breath alcohol level over 400 micrograms.
