The suspect involved in the "active shooter" situation that unfolded in Melbourne on Wednesday morning was killed after he was shot by police, officials said. Melbourne Police Chief David Gillespie said the suspect – who has not yet been identified – exited the apartment unit he had barricaded himself in and started shooting at police officers. Several law enforcement agencies fired back at the suspect, shooting him "multiple times" and injuring him.
So, again, we're very fortunate," Gillespie said.Authorities said the officers did not return fire when the suspect first started shooting at them and instead took a defensive position, setting up a perimeter and containing the scene.SWAT law enforcement officers and crisis negotiation teams tried to get the suspect to surrender and safely resolve the situation. But at some point, the suspect came out of the apartment unit and allegedly started firing shots at police.
