Police are investigating whether a man who died this morning after a lengthy standoff with armed police in a Christchurch suburban street had any link to the March 15 mosque attacks.
A search warrant was executed at a St Martins property in the south of the city late yesterday where police discovered several firearms after acting on information from the public. The 54-year-old man sought in relation to these firearms was located by police in a vehicle pulled over in the Richmond Park area about 12.30am today.
A team of police negotiators spoke to the man for several hours, with the police helicopter and Armed Offenders Squad called in to assist with the matter. “At about 3.40am, police approached the vehicle and discovered the man critically injured with what appeared to be a stab wound. A knife was located in the vehicle,” Police Commissioner Mike Bush said in statement.Members of the public reported hearing explosions during the incident, although investigators said the sound was “police deploying gas at the scene”.
