A homicide investigation has been lauched after a man arrived at a South Auckland medical centre this afternoon with what appeared to be gunshot wounds.
According to Detective Senior Sergeant Malcolm Hassall, the man arrived at a Clendon Park medical centre in a critical condition.
"At this point, we believe he has sustained gunshot injuries at another location," he said.
The man was taken to Middlemore Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
Hassall said police were making inquiries at a nearby Wattle Downs address as part of the investigation.

So far, there have been no arrests.
The Clendon Medical Centre was taped off earlier today and armed police officers could be seen standing guard.
