New Zealand Prime Minister Hipkins confirmed the shooting was not an act of terrorism.

'I want to reiterate that there is no wider national security threat. This appears to be the actions of one individual.

'My understanding from the advice we've received so far is that there was no identified political or ideological motivation for the shooting and therefore no national security risk.'

Just having the worthless niggers around us is a risk to our own - deport them and cut off their survival.

[Br.FrankSmith]

Unbelievable. Throw them in prison till they're deported.

You can take the nigger out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the nigger.

If a White bloke in NZ did this it'd be "terrorism". But if a co-co nut or Māori does this in NZ you can bet that term won't get bandied about.

Excerpt: The Auckland gunman's violent past has been laid bare as it's revealed he was sacked by his construction company employer just a day before his terrifying rampage.

Matu Tangi Matua Reid, 24, was found dead in the lift shaft of a building in Commercial Bay, in downtown Auckland, after exchanging fire with police early on Thursday morning.

Reid was being monitored by correction services via an ankle monitor when he stormed the high-rise building armed with a pump-action shotgun.

The builder had been fired the day before the shooting, with his two victims - aged in their 40s - having worked alongside the 24-year-old at the construction site.

New Zealand's Police Commissioner Andrew Coster told TVNZ's Breakfast said the horror rampage may have been influenced by 'workplace tension'.

The Auckland gunman's violent past has been laid bare as it's revealed he was sacked by his construction company employer just a day before his terrifying rampage.

Matu Tangi Matua Reid, 24, was found dead in the lift shaft of a building in Commercial Bay, in downtown Auckland, after exchanging fire with police early on Thursday morning.

Reid was being monitored by correction services via an ankle monitor when he stormed the high-rise building armed with a pump-action shotgun.

The builder had been fired the day before the shooting, with his two victims - aged in their 40s - having worked alongside the 24-year-old at the construction site.

New Zealand's Police Commissioner Andrew Coster told TVNZ's Breakfast said the horror rampage may have been influenced by 'workplace tension'.

His criminal record shows a previous assault from 2020, which he was serving a community-based sentence for at the time of the incident.

Reid had previously been ordered to attend anger-management sessions. 

A cultural report handed to the court revealed Reid had witnessed domestic violence and physical abuse from an early age, causing him to run away from home.

Judge Bonnar noted that sending Reid to jail could 'set you down the wrong path'.

Instead, the 24-year-old was sentenced to five months home sentence to be served at a Flat Bush property, in Auckland's southeast.

The conditions of the home detention sentence to attend a non-violence program, not use alcohol or drugs and not associate with the victim .

A probation officer had recommended home detention as a satisfactory sentence after deciding Reid had a low risk of reoffending.

Investigators are working to determine the motive and cause of the shooting as well as how the alleged shooter had acquired a gun without a licence.

Seven people remain in hospital on Friday, including one male police officer.
