The two victims of the Auckland construction site shooting have been named.  

Solomona To’oto’o  and Tupuga Sipiliano were killed when Matu Reid showed up to 1 Queen Street armed with a shotgun and took aim.  

As the police continue their investigation and other victims recover, questions are being asked about how Reid, who also died from a self-inflicted wound, was able to own a gun and able to leave the house despite being on home detention. 

Today on The Front Page, Open Justice reporter and former prohibition officer Ric Stevens joins Damien to discuss if anyone did anything wrong in ruling Reid was low risk. Later, NZ Herald senior crime reporter Jared Savage explains New Zealand’s ongoing gun control efforts.
