    The mayor of Horowhenua says a death and injuries by shooting at Waitarere Beach overnight, near Levin - are a massive shock to the community


    Police, rescue helicopters and ambulances flocked to the beach settlement after a 1-1-1 call about 12.40am.

    A man's dead and a woman and two teens are critically injured.

    Horowhenua mayor Bernie Wanden says details about the family are slim.
