    Mr Breig, don't forget your bullet proof vest

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/4632942a11.htmlMatamata killing a drive-by shootingThe man was shot several times about 1am at an address in McGowan St, Waharoa, 7km northwest of Matamata, police said.A second round of shots was fired shortly afterwards but nobody was injured.Waikato crime services manager Detective Inspector Peter Devoy said it appeared the victim had got into a disagreement with some people when at another address shortly beforehand."They have left and were standing outside the McGowan St property when a car approached from a westerly direction," Mr Devoy said."Pulling up on the roadside near the victim's group someone in the car has fired a volley of shots, a number of which have struck our victim."Driving off, the car has then returned to the McGowan St address a very short time later, pulled up and fired a second volley of shots. No one was injured in this second volley."Mr Devoy said the Waikato armed offenders squad arrived in Waharoa about 3am and a Hedley St address was secured and cordoned off two hours later for forensic examination.He said a number of witnesses were found and police were interviewing three people they believed could shed light on the morning's events.Mr Devoy asked Waharoa and Matamata residents to remain calm."One of the advantages of living in small communities is that everyone knows everyone else. We want to tap into that knowledge and are asking anyone with information to contact the Matamata station," he said."We're also asking that people don't jump to conclusions in regards to what has occurred and let the investigation team do their job."- NZPA

    I have organized police protection for the ride. I'll just need to convince him to bring a company bike.
