Family argument behind nail gun shooting

Police say a family feud was behind the nail gun shooting of a west Auckland man early on Saturday morning.

Witnesses say up to six people - men and women - were arguing before the fight spilled out onto the street from a home in Mount Albert around 3am. Five cars had their windows smashed, and the street was littered with broken glass.

"We woke up thinking we heard a gun go off, but when we looked out the window we saw a man with a nail gun," said the owner of one of the cars, Moin Mohammad.

Police say a 25-year-old man who was admitted to hospital with back injuries following the shooting was discharged late on Saturday morning.
