Christchurch Mayor Appalled At Attack On Police

Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker today expressed extreme concern at this morning’s incident in which two police officers were shot at and injured and a police dog killed.

Mr Parker says all Christchurch will share his support for the injured officers and their families, as well as with the police dog handler who lost his frontline companion.

“The police do a fantastic job in Christchurch and it is so sad that they faced an attack such as this as they went about in their daily duties,” Mr Parker says.

“I want every officer to know that they have the support of their community at this time.”
