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) northeast of Melbourne—to execute a warrant for alleged sexual offenses. 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 armored vehicles to the area and warned locals to stay inside until Mr. Freeman is caught. Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Mike Bush stated, 'We are pouring every resource into the search,' and advised, 'Be vigilant, keep yourselves safe.' Eyewitnesses shared reports of heavy police activity in the area, as the search now includes a concentrated effort in the dense bush surrounding his home. Authorities are also investigating whether Mr. Freeman may have fled the state, but no information currently suggests that has occurred.
