1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. The number of drive by shootings in Auckland

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: in recent weeks has now had five. Two of these

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: shootings happened last night. Both of them were in South Auckland,

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: and the remainder happened just in the last couple of weeks.

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: Police are investigating, but they say they're still in the

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: dark about who the culprits are, whether the events are linked.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: South Auckland councilor and former police officer al Philippina is

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: with me right a half.

9
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 2: Hey, he thew are you?

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm good mate? Any idea what's going on here?

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Wow? No, And I actually spoke to one of the

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: senior police officers after I spoke with Laura and spoke

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: to them, and they're obviously still investigating it. I think

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: that I just hope our community do not get to

15
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: a point where they say, oh, gosh, you know, we're

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: just used to it now. We should never get used

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: to this.

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Never aren't we already there?

19
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: It's a shocking No. I don't think we are. I

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: hope we're not, because they're just discussing what's happening and

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: working with the police. I mean, my plea is to

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: people who know who is doing this, whether it's gain

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: related or not. But people, you know, I just realize that, hey,

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: you're one of your relatives could well be shot, seriously

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: injured or killed and ring the police just bring them anonymously?

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Is there what's going on here? For people not reporting it?

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: Of course, of course that that's what's happening, because if

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: you know, if the community and people who know the

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: people who are doing this, do it anonymously, you don't

30
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: need to put your name out there, but try and

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: get these firearms out of the community, get these people

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: and make them accountable for what they're doing, because if

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: they did ring the police, we wouldn't have this. And

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: that's what's so disappointing.

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Sorry, elf, Is this ferals shooting ferals or are they

36
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: innocent people being being accidentally caught up here?

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: No? I personally, I don't think even with the jobway

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 2: with the house and the car, I personally don't think

39
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: it's so sorry, wrong house. I don't because of how

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: many shots were fired, the fact that there was the

41
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: house as well as the vehicle. I don't. I don't

42
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: know whether it's going related, but you know, for me,

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: community out there, do not do not think that. Oh look,

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: this is just normal and we should get used to it.

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: We should never get used to this. It's shocking. It's shocking.
