MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - A gunman opened fire on a downtown street during the morning rush hour Monday in Australia's second-largest city, killing one man and critically wounding two other people, police said.
The suspect fled and police launched a manhunt in the southern city of Melbourne, closing several streets and advising people to stay indoors as tactical officers armed with shotguns fanned out and helicopters joined the search overhead.
Police said the shooting did not appear to be a random act, and it was believed that a woman who was critically injured in the attack knew the gunman.
