Let us know what you find out. I probably won't get to hear anything over here (Oz).

It's 3 choppers now and they are over the NW motorway somewhere - what the hell require more than 14 cop cars and 3 choppers???

Apparently some guy was shooting at people up Don Bucks Rd way about 10.25am when I was riding north up the NW M'way and got pulled over by HP Police and told to wait for a few minutes cos I may be a likely target? I was the only one he pulled over btw, the cop said he was also a motorcyclist. He suggested taking a detour off at Royal Rd...so I did.

Just heard on the radio that there's been a shooting at St Lukes and there is a Armed Offenders callout, police chase down the NW M'Way and blocking off of on/off ramps. The offender may have elderly hostages with him?

Hmmm not good at all for a Sunday morning!

[Edit:]From the 11.00am news - High speed car hijack has ended without any injuries! One shot was fired at St Lukes and a car was hijacked which contained 3 people who effectively became hostages.

Police were shot at during the pursuit which has ended with an arrest.

Yeah the cops were all over the place where I was, must have seen around 20 cars including both marked & unmarked. Some of the drivers had full black head gear on! Quite exciting really.

I had a look on the TradeMe message board - someone was following it with a scanner.Maori gang member with 3 Asian hostages shooting at Police cars - looks like they all came past my place,but I was watching all the Cop cars,not what they were chasing.3rd chopper was TV News,typical eh,it's getting likr the States now.
