The Lower Hutt Community has been grappling with not one, but two violent deaths in a single day.
Police are yet to release the name of the woman killed in a hit-and-run in Naenae Thursday morning.
They also haven't found the person or people driving the car. In Wainuiomata a man was shot dead by police after a stand-off, where he held a weapon to his partner's neck.
Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry spoke to Charlie Dreaver.
