Shooting
Murder in Melbourne
Three people were shot in the centre of Melbourne this morning. This is not a common event.
When our usual tram failed to arrive, we walked over the Collins Street bridge to the next main stop. Collins Street was wedged, and all trams were all being diverted. As we walked further we saw more and more blue flashing lights. Several helicopters were flying around slowly.
Our usual route was clearly not going to work, so we walked down King Street and caught a tram along Flinders Street. The CBD was cordoned off by serious-looking police officers with guns. We heard rumours of a shooting on the tram. The Age has the full story.
