Darwin: At least four people lost their lives while two others were injured after a gunman opened fire in Australia's Darwin on Tuesday evening, according to the Northern Territory (NT) Police. A 45-year-old Caucasian man has since been taken into custody, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. "There are no further concerns for the public at this time," NT Police duty superintendent Lee Morgan said. Reacting to the incident, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison called it a "terrible act of violence."

However, he said it was not an "act of terrorism." The suspected gunman was at large for about an hour, after the first shots were fired. He moved to Stuart Park, where he fired more shots before progressing towards Woolner. Two people, who were rushed to the hospital in a wounded condition, are currently stable.
