Police cannot say how many shots were fired in a fatal shooting at Waitara yesterday, or whether the man who was killed used his firearm.

A man was shot by police yesterday afternoon when they responded to a report of a distressed man who was believed to be armed.

RNZ's Taranaki reporter, Robin Martin, has been covering the story and spoke with Māni Dunlop.
