Women's World Cup security heightened ahead of opening match following deadly shooting in Auckland
Security will be heightened ahead of Thursday night's opening Women's World Cup game after a gunman killed two people at a downtown construction site in Auckland, roughly 12 hours ahead of co-host New Zealand's match against Norway. “We felt safe the whole time,” Mjelde said in a statement. The shooting happened early Thursday morning at the start of rush hour in New Zealand's largest city.
