Woman in custody after shooting

A WOMAN is in custody after a man was shot in McKellar late this morning.

Police were called to a house in Tipping Place at about 11.30am today after receiving reports of a gun being fired.

Officers found a 39-year-old man outside with a wound to his shoulder, which they believed to be from a gunshot. He was taken to The Canberra Hospital.

A rifle was recovered from the scene and is undergoing forensic analysis.

Any witnesses who have not already spoken with police are asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
