Disturbing details have emerged about the man responsible for a shooting spree at a building site in New Zealand. The incident occurred on Thursday morning in Auckland, with the gunman identified as 24-year-old Matu Tangi Matua Reid. Reid, who worked at the building, arrived that morning with a pump-action shotgun and started firing at his co-workers. Witnesses described seeing him walk calmly through a nearby rail station before storming the building. Construction workers reported that he ordered them to get on the roof or he would shoot. As the chaos unfolded, people began leaving the building when the fire alarm went off. Reid was sentenced to five months of home detention in March for domestic violence offences, but New Zealand laws allowed him to continue working. Police stated that Reid moved through the building site, firing his weapon, and eventually contained himself within the elevator shaft. He was later found dead. The shooting is being treated as an isolated incident and not a national security threat. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins expressed his sorrow for the victims and praised the bravery of the police officers who responded to the situation. The incident occurred on the first day of the Women’s World Cup, but there will be no change to the tournament schedule. The Norwegian team, who is participating in the tournament, is staying at a hotel near the shooting site. The motive for the attack is believed to be linked to Reid’s employment and he had indications of a mental health history..
