A 6 year-old New Zealand boy who was killed in a shooting incident in Fiji is yet to be named.
The incident was reported by Fijilive to have happened at the village of Sabeto Hill and the boy died hours later in hospital while another 14 year old boy is in a critical condition.
According to the report the boy, who is from Auckland and his family were in Lautoka on a trip to see a house constructed there.
Fijilive said that the family heard a gunshot while they were on the site and rushed to find the two boys seriously injured.
The gun is said to be owned by a man who accompanied the family.
The gun owner is in custody and police interviewed constructors who were at the scene.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
