“We had a plan to apprehend him safely without risk to himself, our staff and the public.” He wanted to thank Canterbury police for their support with the arrest and for the assistance from the Motueka and wider Nelson Bays communities following the shooting. “We are very aware of the concern that such incidents cause.” Borrell said enquiries were still being completed and an update on charges would be provided in due course. A section of Fry St in Motueka was closed off on Tuesday as armed police from Motueka and Nelson investigated the scene shortly after 1pm. A man was flown to Nelson Hospital with gunshot wounds after the incident. He was treated in the emergency department and discharged the same day.
