Desk. Three people were killed in a shooting in a town in Australia’s New South Wales state. According to police, one person was also injured in the shooting. Giving information about the shooting incident, police said that after receiving information, emergency services were called to Lake Carjelligo. The town has a population of about 1,500 people. According to police, the deceased include two women and a man. Meanwhile, another man has been admitted to the hospital in critical condition.
Police have launched an investigation into whether the shooter was a single individual or someone else was involved. They say the shooter or attackers are likely still at large. Police have urged people to avoid the area and local residents to remain indoors.
Local resident Manisha, who did not want to give her surname, told Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph newspaper that there were police cars and ambulances “all over the city.” “There are only two main roads in the city. We can hear the sirens,” she told the newspaper. Local state legislator Roy Butler called the shooting “tragic news” for the city, which is 600 kilometers (370 miles) west of Sydney. “It’s a terrible situation, and it’s still ongoing, so we don’t have much information,” Butler told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. “My thoughts are with the victims and their families.”
