00:00 About 4.30pm police were called to the scene here on Berkeley Crescent in Floriette in Perth's West.
00:07 There were reports of shots fired. They arrived and found two people deceased.
00:12 A third person was taken to hospital under priority conditions.
00:16 Now residents have described hearing bangs.
00:18 One man thought he heard a series of bangs of a sheet metal being hit and he later realised it was more sinister.
00:25 What appeared to be gunfire, maybe three shots, although it may well have been the banging of a tin roof or something like that, that was the sound.
00:38 Others have described running out to the front of their house after hearing the bangs and seeing police descend on the scene.
00:45 They were travelling at great speed and some people reported seeing police in tactical gear.
00:50 I drove home, I came down that street and the police were more or less outside my house and I was thinking, wow, he's in my house.
00:58 It's a bit shocking and like we know our neighbours, they're good people.
01:03 Other residents have described hearing a series of bangs and running out to see more police arriving on the scene.
01:10 So there is a huge police presence on Berkeley Crescent.
01:13 They've locked off the street so the entire block is blocked off except for residents.
01:17 A large number of people have been gathering to see what's happening but they're now dispersing.
01:22 There's been a series of groups of detectives who've arrived on the scene who seem to be conferring
01:27 as well as uniformed officers who appear to be manning the barricades.
01:32 They've told us that they can't release any more information.
