Casey shooting: Man charged with attempted murder

A MAN is facing court on an attempted murder charge following a shooting in Casey on November 21.

Police say the 23-year-old Harrison man fired a gun several times, from a stolen car, in the direction of a man who was on foot in Casey.

Police later searched a home in O’Connor, arrested and charged the man with using a carriage service to threaten serious harm, and using a carriage service to menace.

After a further investigation, police laid an additional charge of attempted murder, discharging a firearm endangering life, driving a motor vehicle without consent and possession of a number plate calculated to deceive.

The man faces court today.
