Upon arrival, one person was pronounced deceased at the scene.
A second person was located with serious injuries and has been transported to hospital.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Pilmer, Whangārei CIB, says Police do not believe there is any ongoing risk to the wider community.
“The key focus for us is determining the series of events that led up to this tragic incident.”
Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward, in particular we would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed this incident.
