A huge manhunt is under way for a "heavily armed" male suspect after two Australian police officers were shot dead and one was injured at a property in a small rural town in Victoria state.
Police described the situation in Porepunkah, in the Australian Alps, as an "active incident" with hundreds of personnel deployed to find the suspect.
Officers were attacked as 10 of them attended the property to serve an arrest warrant.
Police said the suspect escaped into the bush alone and on foot after the shooting. Officers are still trying to locate the man’s wife and children.
The state police chief said all available resources were being used in the manhunt and urged local people to stay indoors.
