Three people are dead, including the gunman, and six are injured after a shooting at an Auckland CBD building.

Local media reported that the gunman was a 24-year-old man who worked at the building and had arrived at the site with a pump-action shotgun.

Colleagues thought he was conducting a prank until he opened fire.
