"Three sources have confirmed to Guardian Australia that two officers have been killed and another wounded in the shooting at Porepunkah. None were authorised to comment on the incident and only one had been directly briefed on the incident by police. Victoria police has declined to comment on the active incident until it is operationally safe to do so."
"Bright, less than 10km from Porepunkah, is a regular stop for tourists, famous for its cycling routes, breweries and boutique stores. Despite its small size, Porepunkah also picks up its share of tourism, part of the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail and featuring a number of cellar doors, produce and picnic options, as well as providing an easy entry point to the ski town of Mount Buffalo."
"Porepunkah Primary School is still in lockdown as the end of the school day approaches, its principal has confirmed. Speaking on ABC Melbourne radio, Jill Gillies said about 90 students were being distracted with movies, coding and touch typing. Teachers are absolute superstars and I have the best bunch of staff, they've had the kids in lockdown since around 11.30 this morning, they are masters at being able to be creative to find fun things to"
