A man has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting a woman before a four-hour stand off with police in suburban Adelaide.
Police were called to a “high-risk” operation on Elm Street, at Campbelltown in Adelaide’s northeast, about 1.20pm Saturday, following reports of gunshots.
Officers arrived to find two women collapsed on the driveway of the home with gunshot wounds.
“When patrols arrived, they found a woman deceased at the scene and another 22-year-old woman with serious injuries,” South Australia Police said in a statement.
“The injured woman was safely extracted and rushed to the Royal Hospital where she remains in stable condition.”
Police cordoned off the home and surrounding streets while an unarmed man remained inside the house.
After more than three hours of negotiations, the man handed himself into police and was taken into custody.
The 51-year-old man from Campbellton was charged with murder and attempted murder.
He did not receive police bail and will face Magistrates Court on Monday.
Police confirmed the man was known to the two women.
Detectives are now searching the man’s home.
