(about 4 hours later)
A suspect has been shot and wounded by police in a tense standoff at a building in the east end of Adelaide’s CBD. An hours-long siege in Adelaide’s CBD has left one man shot and wounded and another holed up in a building.
Another man is reported to remain inside the Adelaide Public Schools Club near the intersection of East Terrace and Carrington Street. A tactical response unit is sweeping the building, more than 10 hours after the tense stand-off began.
It’s believed the two men broke into a business on East Terrace and were spotted on the roof of the building by a member of the public at 5.15am on Saturday.
A 41-year-old man from Northfield was shot by police six hours into the siege, and has non life-threatening injuries, while a second man is believed to still be in the building, which is reported to be the Adelaide Public Schools Club.
“We’re still searching and clearing the building,” a police spokeswoman said.
