    Police are looking for a group of duck hunters who shot at two women from a boat in the Clutha River

    Police are looking for a group of duck hunters who shot at two women from a boat in the Clutha River


    The pair suffered minor shotgun pellet injuries after being shot yesterday morning, while walking a track in Alexandra.

    One woman was injured in her leg and the other in her shoulder.

    Queenstown police Detective Sergeant Paul Slate says a group of men hunting from a boat fired the shots.

    He says they offered to help afterwards -- and then fled.

    The men -- and anyone who saw the incident -- should call police on 10-5 .
