A sleepy alpine town in Victoria was turned into a warzone on Tuesday morning when two detectives were gunned down and a third seriously wounded during a routine police operation.
The officers had arrived at a rural property in Porepunkah, a town of just 1,000 residents, to serve a warrant linked to historical sex offences, The Age reported. But the mission quickly spiralled into bloodshed when the suspect opened fire, sparking one of the most significant police manhunts in recent years.
