“We are pleased to have been able to charge someone in relation to this tragic incident.”
The man appeared in Waitākere District Court today and was remanded in custody to appear in the Auckland High Court on October 22.
Yesterday, one resident told the Herald there had been multiple armed police officers in the street at one point.
“When the ambulance arrived, they were telling everyone to stay at home because they didn’t know what was going on and were trying to find someone.”
Another resident told the Herald there were about 10 police officers on the road at one point.
“They kept coming one by one.”
She said every police officer was armed for about an hour.
