Description

Police in Victoria shoot and kill Dezi Freeman, the fugitive gunman who murdered two officers last August. After a three-hour standoff, Freeman emerged from a shipping container hideout and was shot. The manhunt, one of the biggest in Victoria Police history, lasted seven months. Friends of Senior Constable Neal Thompson express relief, while community members express shock. Freeman, a self-styled sovereign citizen, fled after the attack and dodged massive searches. No officers were hurt in the operation, and the state coroner and Professional Standards Command will probe the shooting.
