A man has been arrested after shots were fired at police in South Gippsland in Victoria’s southeast — sparking a major police operation that lasted more than two hours. Officers attended a home on Foster-Mirboo Rd in Dumbalk North, not far from Leongatha, to execute a firearms warrant when it is believed a man who lives there fired shots at detectives about 1.30pm on Thursday.
Police shot at during a siege standoff Officers returned fire and the man, who 7NEWS understands to be a former Australian Defence Force soldier, fled on foot. Fellow police officers rushed in to help search for the man, as roads were cordoned off and locals were told to stay away. Heavily armed tactical police arrived just before 5pm and located a 56-year-old man behind the property. He was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
