Victoria police say they have arrested a 42-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy, interviewed them and released them pending further inquiries in their search for suspected gunman Dezi Freeman in Victoria's high country. As of Friday morning there had been no confirmed sightings of Freeman, 56, also known as Desmond Filby, since he allegedly shot and killed two police officers and injured a third when they came to execute an arrest warrant on him at a rural property in Porepunkah on Tuesday.
The attacks on Minnesota lawmakers, labeled as targeted political violence, highlight the distressing trend of such assaults on public officials, raising questions about safety and security.
