A heavily armed man is being hunted after two Australian police officers were shot dead and one injured in an ambush in a small rural town in Victoria.
Police described the situation in Porepunkah in the Australian Alps 300 kilometres northeast of Melbourne as an active incident, and hundreds of officers had been deployed.
Officers were attacked as 10 of them attended a house to serve an arrest warrant, which Australian media said was for historical sex offences.
Police say the suspect escaped by running into the bush alone after the shooting.
