The Team from Canterbury Police

Police are investigating after a woman suffered what appears to be a serious gunshot wound in Wainoni, Christchurch.

Police and ambulance were called to a Shortland Street property about 8:45pm last night, and on arrival found the woman in critical condition.

A scene guard has remained in place overnight, and enquiries are ongoing today to locate the person responsible, who left the scene in a vehicle.

Members of the public can expect a Police presence in the area to remain while these enquiries take place.
