Man killed in hit and run
Police are searching for a car after a person was hit and killed just after midday in West Auckland’s Glen Eden yesterday. Witnesses have described hearing screaming, and screeching tyres. A witness described the terrifying moment a driver pulled out a handgun and held it out a car window while fleeing the scene. Kat McCormick was pulling out of a car park with her daughter when she saw a man in a black Holden pull a hand-brake turn near the Glenmall intersection. “We knew he was gone,” she said. “He flew into his windshield . . . It killed him.” She then recorded the man’s licence plate and followed his car when he did not stop. The driver then waved a handgun out the window, and sped away.
