A man was flown to Dunedin Hospital and a woman handed herself in to police following a shooting at Purakaunui this afternoon.
The Dunedin Armed Offenders Squad was called to a Purakaunui address, north of Dunedin, about 4.25pm.
Acting Senior Sergeant Ian Temple said a 51-year-old man was flown to Dunedin Hospital. He is in a serious condition.
A 34-year-old woman presented herself at the Dunedin Central police station about 5pm, and is helping police with their inquiries.
The address remains under guard but the wider Purakaunui area is safe for travel.
