Shot youth mow satisfactory
PA Auckland A boy, aged 15, stabbed and shot three times, staggered screaming up a busy Glenfield Road on Tuesday and collapsed at the feet of a shocked woman bus passenger. Takapuna detectives are “amazed” that several residents apparently ignored the wounded boy’s cries for help as he reeled up Archers Road about 3.15 p.m. The boy, Jamie Mark Foster, of Sunnynook, had been shot twice in the head and once in the hand with a .22-calibre rifle. He also had a knife wound to the neck. He underwent emergency surgery at Auckland Hos-
pital and was yesterday reported in a satisfactory condition. A boy, aged 15, was to appear in the Children and Young Persons Court at North Shore yesterday morning, charged with attempted murder. The head of the Takapuna C. 1.8., Detective Senior-Ser-geant T. O. Tozer, said he was alarmed that people who apparently saw the injured youth offered no assistance. “It is amazing that people can hear someone yelling for help and not go for help,” he said. A motorist stopped to help the bus passenger with the wounded youth. She used her radio-telephone to call her base, which relayed a message to the ambulance station. The police later recovered two .22 calibre rifles, a knife, and ammunition from a house in Archers Road. Detectives were yesterday continuing house-to-house inquiries.
