Out of the Blue

On November 13th 1990, in the small New Zealand seaside town of Aramoana, local man David Gray took a high-powered automatic weapon and shot dead 13 people. It remains the worst mass murder in New Zealand’s history. As emergency services scrambled to reach Aramoana, a handful of young, under-armed local policemen risked their lives trying to find the gunmen. Terrified and confused, residents were trapped in their homes for 24 hours, not knowing where David Gray was- or if they would become his next victim. There were great feats of bravery on that terrible day- from ordinary people in the most extraordinary of situations. Out Of The Blue is a gripping and powerful story of courage and survival.
