A suspected gunman remains at large following a deadly shooting in Lake Cargelligo, New South Wales, Australia on Thursday afternoon, police said. Emergency services were called to Walker Street around 4:40 p.m. after reports of gunfire. Three people — two women and a man — were killed, and another man was seriously injured and taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition, authorities added. A major police operation and manhunt is underway in the small country town of about 1,500 residents, with armed units deployed and residents urged to stay indoors. The shooting occurred on a national day of mourning for victims of a previous mass shooting in Sydney, intensifying concern and prompting heightened law enforcement response. (AFP)
