A woman who was shot at a Tauranga house last night is now in a stable condition in hospital.
The 27-year-old was taken to Tauranga Hospital with a gunshot wound at around 6.24pm following an incident at a Christopher Street house last night.
She was initially in a serious condition but police told 1 NEWS that has now been changed to stable.
Neighbours heard a baby crying after initially hearing a gunshot at approximately 6.30pm, NZ Herald reports.
After the shot, I heard a baby crying, and lots of people yelling and screaming, including a woman who I heard say 'look what you have done'," one male neighbour told NZ Herald.
A car then drove off at speed before police arrived, residents reported.
Police are carrying out a scene examination today, as enquiries continue to establish exactly what occurred.
