Introduction

The Matilders kicked off the Women's World Cup with a win in Sydney last night. And they came out on top despite having a tough start to the tournament. But all eyes were on Auckland yesterday before the game even got started. A 24-year-old gunman opened fire at a construction site in the city's CBD yesterday morning. He killed two people and injured another six before he was killed in a shootout with police. The Kiwi Prime Minister Chris Hipkins confirmed that there was no political or ideological motivation for the shooting.
