he has been in silverstream at St Pats college and the kids were in lock down, he then got into the village nad they are still looking for him, he was last see n at the hutt river, so nayone fancying a strole along the river today...dont bother...[:0]
I am shocked it is on my door step...its that kind of sittuation where you think it will never happen to you...
I had a friend over for breakfast and she is in the village of silver stream so i wouldnt let her go home until he moved again....i hope they get him before my teens are home as they walk through stream to get to the rural bus... [!] I hate the fact that someone fels they have the right to get a whole area scared witless...

whats he done/doing?

I remember when we had a guy hiding in the pine plantation up the road from us for a couple of weeks. They ended up finding him in a ditch in Karaka. He had shot a couple of people i think, not a nice feeling at all. Hope they get him soon

They have got hime, than god!!
Not sure what he has done all i know is that the car he was in had a woman they arrested her and a 1 year old was taken into care but he has a gun and he got away, he has been on the loose for a few days..

and it was only last year that a guy went nuts in the fire brakes in wianuiomata over here and shot people dead wounded a few others as he drove down state highway on a quad shooting cyclists and anyone else in his way...

fesh in losts of peoples minds i think...and a person and gun loose and running scared is not a good mix.

Just heard on the news he is still loose...crap!!!! found this on stuff too...locals had better keep inside until he is found, he sounds nasty

Police are still hunting dangerous fugitive Matthew Kidman, believed to be in the Upper Hutt area, but have moved their search into surrounding bush.

A helicopter was used this morning to search around Fergusson Drive and the Wellington Golf Club but Kidman is believed to have evaded police, including the armed offenders squad, and escaped to the hills east of the valley.
Earlier, pupils at St Patrick's Silverstream were ordered to stay in their classrooms. Pupil Matt Richardson, 16, speaking to Stuff.co.nz from inside the school, said the chopper was hovering about 200m north of the campus.
"We just got told there's a guy with a rifle roaming around the paddocks and we have to stay in class," Richardson said.
St Patrick's Silverstream spokesman Tony Giles said they had received a call from police at around 9.30am this morning, telling them to keep the boys inside.
Police have since told the college it was safe for pupils to be released from their classrooms.
Armed police are lining the Hutt River bank around the search area, which covers a reasonably large area of land including the school, golf club and surrounding farmland.
Police believe Kidman could be driving a motorised golf cart.
Acting senior sergeant Braydon Leniham said that Kidman, who may be armed, probably took the the cart from the Silverstream Golf Driving Range.
Royal Wellington Golf Club employee Kevin McAllister said golfers from the club had earlier been told not to go out on the course but had since been given the all-clear.
"He (the suspect) took a quad bike from the driving range and they can’t find him or the bike," he said.
Police have requested that any suspicious activity in the area should be reported to police immediately on 111. They warned people not to approach Kidman. He is on bail for firearms offences and considered dangerous.
A search was launched for Kidman on Tuesday, which also included the armed offenders squad, dog handlers, a negotiation team and the Westpac helicopter , after he was reportedly seen in a car with a firearm visiting a house in the suburb of Naenae.
A firearm was later dumped at Taita Cemetery before Kidman headed into the hills.
Police patrols have combed hills around Lower Hutt over the last two days.
Kidman is described as Caucasian, 187cm tall, of thin build wearing a white top and dark pants.
