"Police have fired Taser stun guns on 15 of the 100 occasions they have threatened to use them since a year-long trial began last September.
A case of a police officer accidentally shooting himself has been reported during the trial but there were no repeats of that in the latest 15 incidents. Many of them are domestic and involve offenders known to be hostile to police or presenting weapons.
In an incident on April 18 a Taser was fired at, but missed, a female patient being transported to hospital in Auckland accompanied by a mental health nurse."
