Tragedy Strikes Auckland on Eve of Women's World Cup
Two people were killed and at least five others injured in a shooting in Auckland, New Zealand, on the eve of the Women's Soccer World Cup. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins stated that the tournament would proceed as planned, as the shooting appeared to be the actions of an individual with no identified political or ideological motivation. The shooter, a 24-year-old male, was employed at the construction site where the incident occurred and had a history of family violence. Security measures have been increased, but there is no change to the country's security threat level.
