‘Split second decision’: Man shot dead after threatening police with bow and arrow

The officers attended the property after locals reported the man was standing on the road and blocking traffic in both directions, a police source with knowledge of the incident told the Herald. Quia Road is a two-lane rural road with a 100km/h speed limit, allowing one lane of travel in each direction.

Holland said the mental health of the man killed will form part of police inquiries, and that his family were being spoken to by officers on Friday. He wouldn’t offer further details about the man’s age or identity.

It comes almost five months after two Victorian police officers were shot dead on a rural property in that state’s alpine region.

The alleged shooter Dezi Freeman has remained at large despite an exhaustive law enforcement effort to find him.
