Police are being accused of "not being human" after they waited 26 minutes before entering the liquor store where armed robbery victim Navtej Singh lay fatally wounded on the floor.
His wife, his business partner and a close friend were all there with him, but officers would still not go in despite 111 staff being assured the robbers had left.
Mr Singh died in Middlemore Hospital early yesterday from injuries suffered when he was shot in the chest with a .22 rifle during the raid on his liquor store in Riverton Drive, Manurewa, on Saturday night.
And they held the ambulance back for 38[?] minutes, not letting them work to save this family man with three young children.
I am beyond making rational comment. The Police better catch the criminals and those in charge of this fiasco need to resign and look for a job where they are not responsible for the protection of lives.
Mr Singh's business partner, Gurwinder Singh, called police and ambulance staff within minutes of the shooting but it was half an hour before paramedics were allowed in.
That delay was precious time which Navtej Singh's grieving family believe hindered the 30-year-old's chance of survival, and they now want answers.
And they are entitled to answers. I feel so sad thinking about this family.
