Man in court over Dunedin bus shootings

A window was shattered just behind the driver.

A 21-year-old has been charged with being drunk in charge of a firearm after two buses and a house were shot at in Dunedin.

Luke Anthony Bonney was in court this morning over the BB gun shootings last Friday morning which shattered two bus windows.

Passengers on a Musselburgh bus told the ODT they watched in horror as a window exploded just behind the driver.

Facing six charges under the Arms Act and three of intentional damage, Bonney didn't enter a plea and was granted a registrar's adjournment until September 26.
