A police officer has died after two officers were shot and another person was hit by a fleeing car in West Auckland.

According to Stuff.co, the two officers were seriously injured after being shot at during a routine traffic stop on Reynella Drive, in Massey, about 10.30am today.

A member of the public was also injured after being hit by a vehicle fleeing the scene.
