"No one was injured," a police spokeswoman said.

"A scene guard remains in place and inquiries into the incident are ongoing."

Police investigators could be seen at the home on Saturday morning, photographing and examining the scene.

The house remained cordoned off and markers had been placed next to pieces of evidence.

Police returned to the Ōtara home on Saturday morning to complete further investigations.

In an earlier incident on Saturday morning, an Avondale resident allegedly had a gun pointed at them.

Police said they received reports of two men visiting a Ruahine St address at around 12.50am and allegedly "presenting a firearm at an occupant".
