No arrests have been made after a firearms incident near Lake Rotomā.

One person was treated in Waikato Hospital for a gunshot wound after the incident on Sunday.

"At this time we are trying to determine the circumstances of how this person came to be injured," a police spokeswoman said.

"Initial indications are that those involved are known to each other and we do not believe there is any ongoing risk to the public."

She said police were following strong lines of inquiry but no arrests had been made at this stage.
