An escalating dispute between the Head Hunters and the Mongols was behind the shooting at a 5-star waterfront hotel yesterday, police say.
A gun was fired soon after 9am at the Sofitel hotel at the Viaduct, sparking a citywide response with armed officers and the Eagle helicopter.
Detective Inspector John Sutton said the incident - described by witnesses as "a moment of terror" - was linked to a shooting at the Head Hunters gang pad in Mt Wellington last weekend.
