A woman who was shot during a fatal gun battle in the Melbourne suburb of Bourke St West has been charged over the alleged incident.
Police allege 21-year-old Karyn Miller opened fire, hitting a man outside the home of her boyfriend near Greenacre Road.
Three other people were also injured during the shoot-out between the pair.
Police ar바카라rived on scene just before 7:00am on Saturday morning.
No shots were fired, though two officers were seen running around at the s바카라사이트cene.
Miller was charged with the discharge of a firearm, while one officer was charged with unlawful wounding.
They’re being held in custody in an in-house unit and will be charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and not a firearm offence.
They remain in custody on a $3,000 bail, before they can appear before the Court of Criminal Appeal (CCA) on Monday afternoon.
Police had previously revealed that they have not seen any video of Miller’s actions leading up to the shooting.
One witness who was present at the time of the shooting told 2GB that it would be „hard not to believe“ that someone in Miller’s vicinity fired a gun.

Ms Wilson, the victim’s mother, told reporters it was her understanding that someone in Miller’s vicinity had been „warning“ her about Miller’s behaviour earlier in the day.
„I’m not sure anyone actually believes she would do this for some sort of mental or political reasons,“ she said.
A number of people, including children, could see through the windows of the residence to the north-west, but the front door was barred.
Ms Wilson said she has a son with Asperger’s syndrome who „loves to dance“ but cannot read or write.
„He’s one of those very sweet kids with Asperger’s and is very bright, very creative, very playful,“ she said.
„But he can’t control his behaviour. He can’t manage the amount of noise.“
She has asked for friends and families to „keep him in their prayers“ in their struggle to 바카라사이트put an end to the violence.
„I don’t know what the outcome will be in terms of this situation,“ she said.
