What’s going on in Napier?

Anyone know?

Can't be anything gun-related because the new Arms Act removed all potential for non-police-related gun violence. /sarc.

It's a armed operation against an armed man holed up in a house. Police are negotiating with the suspect. It was on stuff

Charged with "unlawful possession of a firearm" does that mean he's unlicensed, that won't get the media's attention as being licensed would have.

Yep a shotgun so the current story goes, so most likely doesn't have a licence. Lucky it's only us licensed firearms owners who are a danger to society
