Our hearts are with our Victoria Police colleagues following the tragic events in Porepunkah.

Our deepest sympathies are with the families, friends, and communities of the two police officers who lost their lives, and with the officer who was injured while on duty. No one should go to work and not return safely to their loved ones.

As part of the wider emergency services family, we stand shoulder to shoulder with Victoria Police and honour the dedication, courage, and service of all those who protect our community.

If you are feeling the weight of this tragedy, please reach out for support. Help is available 24/7 through Lifeline (13 11 14) or Beyond Blue (1300 224 636).

Two on duty police officers have been shot and killed during an incident in Porepunkah this morning.

It’s believed ten police attended the property on Rayner Track shortly after 10.30am on Tuesday, 26 August.

Two officers were fatally shot and a third was seriously injured after being shot in the lower body.

At this time no other officers have been physically injured, however they remain at the property.

The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are still being determined and it remains an active and ongoing situation.

It’s believed the offender has since left the property and at this time his whereabouts are unknown.

A significant search is actively underway to locate the man.

We urge the public in and around the township of Porepunkah to remain indoors until further notice.

We also ask people not to travel into the area.

Detectives from the Homicide Squad will investigate the incident and will attend the scene along with detectives from the Armed Crime Squad and Fugitive Squad.

Police from the Special Operations Group and Critical Incident Response Team also remain on scene.

Further information about the incident will be provided once it comes to hand and is operationally appropriate to do so.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
