Tonga Police have launched an investigation after a video circulating on social media showed what appears to be a shooting incident at ‘Ananā in Tongatapu.
The footage, seen by Kaniva News, shows a confrontation beginning inside a garage, where men are heard shouting at each other before the incident spills out onto the road.
A man wearing a white T‑shirt is then seen carrying what appears to be a firearm, which he points at a shirtless man at close range.
He is heard issuing threats before firing the weapon. It remains unclear whether anyone was injured.
In a brief statement, police confirmed they have received the footage and are working to identify everyone involved.
Authorities said appropriate action will be taken once the individuals have been identified and the circumstances of the incident are fully established.
Police are appealing to the public for assistance and have urged anyone with information to contact their nearest police station or call 7401630.
The incident has drawn significant attention online after clips of the shooting were widely shared across social media platforms.
Police say further updates will be released as the investigation progresses.
