The two Christchurch policemen who were shot and injured in the city this week are now both back home with their families.
Senior Constable Bruce Lamb and Constable Mitchel Alatalo were released from Christchurch Hospital this afternoon.
The men will continue to receive medical attention in the coming weeks. It's too early to say when they will return to duty.
