00:00A lot of deer hunting goes on so we go bang bang bang and we just ignore it and keep working because
00:04we hear it all start out though. Was this like three gunshots? I can't remember so there was a
00:10few gunshots. We were actually still kind of, we knew what was happening in terms of we had to go
00:16inside and everyone to be safe and then before we knew it a police car just came straight through
00:22through our backyard and flew straight down like the road there and they just kept saying just get
00:28your keys a cars, make sure everyone's safe and lock yourselves in. But it was just, it was just a
00:35surreal feeling. It was nerve-wracking. I was shaking because it was just the unknown of actually what
00:43was going on. He noticed the bush light at the back of his hand so you know the poor police have got
00:48something you know he's got to deal in so there's a lot of mine shafts, gold shafts and dummings up
00:54in that bush. They've got some challenges and I feel sorry for them. No one knows what's true but
01:00it's that feeling of sadness. Somebody's not going under their loved ones tonight. That's not a good
01:08day for anybody. In terms of the current situation, the suspect for this horrific event
01:17is still at large. We believe he is armed. We have deployed every specialist resource into this area
01:31to locate him. It is our priority. Our priority is to arrest him to ensure that he's held to account
01:42for the actions but also very much to bring safety and security to this community. We have hundreds of police
01:54resources assigned for this very important task. I would like to ensure the community that we're doing
02:06every effort. I do ask and members of the community to stay indoors, take care of themselves. If you see
02:19anything or hear anything that concerns you, please ring us at the local station, triple zero or Crime Stops.
