Hamilton mum admits shooting at police to help kids escape arrest

It's an indication of systemic issues we have in NZ now. What has the kid done to warrant being arrested? Why does the mother have a gun and what makes her crazy enough to think shooting at the police is an option?

This is a blatant firearms problem and community problem in NZ

Sadly the police are not getting the community support that they used to

She is 32 and has 2 teenage kids!!!

She should at least be charged with attempted manslaughter. She could have killed a police person.

We need to use models from other countries with low crime rates to help get our country on track where we reduce poverty, drug addiction and homelessness.

Where is the gun coming from? That’s just **** ed up man no one should be shot at

We need to fix crime in NZ more before having an opinion on others overseas

We should build a fence around Hamilton

Wow!

She messaged her kids soon after saying, “I just shot the pigs”.

The 32-year-old woman, who cannot be named in order to protect her children’s identity, then went on to do it again, less than an hour later, firing a shot at a policeman as he spoke with a Bader resident on his front lawn.
