AOS callout: Dunedin man released on bail

A Dunedin man alleged to have fired a number of shots during a domestic dispute with his wife in St Kilda last night has been released on bail.

The 51-year-old man, who was granted interim name suppression, did not appear in court but was granted an adjournment by a registrar in the Dunedin District Court this afternoon.

He was remanded to March 15 on a charge of threatening to kill a woman. Her name was also suppressed.

Police were called to a Tedder St address last night after neighbours reported hearing gunshots about 11.45pm.

Sergeant Paul McLaughlan said this morning a "significant" number of weapons, ranging from pistols to rifles, and ammunition were located.

It was not known whether the shots were fired into the air or directed at somebody.
