The Wairarapa CIB is currently investigating an incident over night in which a number of gun shots have been fired at a residential address in Miriam Street, Masterton.

Neighbours report hearing several gun shots at about 8:45pm last night (Friday 27th July).

It is believed a vehicle is involved and Police are appealing for witnesses.

Acting Detective Sergeant Mike SMITH states:
