A 49-year-old man is undergoing surgery after being shot in the groin at a house in the Christchurch suburb of Hornby last night.
A 32-year-old man accused of shooting him is due to appear in the Christchurch District Court today, charged with discharging a firearm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The victim's injuries have been described as non-life threatening.
"We would again like to advise that this is an isolated incident and can assure the public that there is no ongoing risk," said police.
