Police have charged a man with murder following after another man was left at Tauranga Hospital with critical injuries and died.
The man, who has been named as 58-year-old Lance Wayne Waite, was dumped at the hospital's emergency department about midday yesterday and died a short time later, despite efforts
to save him.
Police have charged a 26-year-old man with murder and he is expected to appear in Tauranga District Court tomorrow.
Detective Inspector Lewis Warner said the arrest came after inquiries were made at a house in the Bureta area earlier today.
Armed police swooped in on a house in Ngatai Rd, where bystanders said they saw explosions and heard shots fired.
