The furious mother appeared to have been devastated by allegations posted to Facebook by the alleged attacker’s relatives regarding his son after the shootings.
Kaniva understands two young men were injured after the shootings on Saturday night.
It appears that the incident was a result of previous disputes between groups of people from Afā and Niutōua.
The enraged mum’s live clip was posted to Youtube this morning. She said the condition of his son and what had happened to him was so hard to bear.
She said she and her family were struggling to keep the peace.
Police have yet to release any information about the shooting on their official Facebook page.

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.
