Helicopter called in after shooting

By BRIDGET COOK

THE police Air Wing was called in to try to locate those involved in a shooting in Narre Warren last week.
Police are still investigating the circumstances around the shooting, which occurred about 5pm on Wednesday 27 August.
A number of men turned up at a house in Heyington Circle where a dispute broke out resulting in the home’s occupant being shot to his lower body.
The 37-year-old man was taken to hospital by ambulance with non-life threatening injuries.
Police responded quickly to the incident and the Air Wing was called which managed to locate and help in the arrest of a 42-year-old Terang man.
The man has since been released pending further inquiries and police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
