The first game of the 2023 Women's World Cup was set to kick off in Auckland only hours after the deadly shooting.
"The building site has now been secured and a scene examination is now underway," Thompson continued."There are upwards of 40 witnesses who were at or around the scene and they are in the process of being spoken to as part of this investigation."
Police on Thursday cordon off the site of a deadly shooting in Auckland, New Zealand. Three people were killed, including the gunman, and several others were injured, just hours before the 2023 Women's World Cup was set to begin.The incident occurred hours before the New Zealand women's national team was scheduled to take on Norway in the opening game of the World Cup at Eden Park Stadium, just miles from the site of the shooting.
Officials said that the game and the World Cup, which is being co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia, would be moving forward. There was no indication that the shooting was in any way tied to the World Cup, while police said that it did not present"a national security risk." New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said during a press briefing that no"ideological or political motivation" had been identified.
Hipkins stressed that the actual motive of the gunman was still unknown pending the results of the police investigation. He said that the shooter appeared to have acted alone.
