Australia police shooting suspect named as manhunt continues

· 1 min read

BBC:

Australian police are continuing a massive search for a heavily armed man suspected of shooting and killing two officers in a rural town.

Ten police officers were fired upon on Tuesday after travelling to the property in Porepunkah – about 300km (186 miles) north-east of Melbourne – to execute a warrant for alleged sexual offences.

Almost 24 hours later, police have named the suspect as local man Dezi Freeman, 56, and confirmed he is “still at large”.

Police have deployed officers, a helicopter and armoured vehicles to the area and warned locals to stay inside until Mr Freeman is caught.

“We are pouring every resource into the search,” Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Mike Bush said.
