Headline: UPDATE on fatal Police shooting in Rodney
Location:
Waitemata
The family of the man shot by Police following an incident in Rodney early on Saturday morning have requested that Police do not release his name until after the funeral which is being planned for this week.
This is a very difficult time for the family and to release his name now would cause them undue stress and for this reason we will be waiting until after the funeral.
They have also requested privacy at this time and ask that they be allowed to grieve the loss of a much loved family member in private.
