Arrests made in relation to Aussie police officer shooting
Arrests have been made in relation to the fatal shooting of two police officers in the rural Victorian town of Porepunkah. The manhunt for 56-year-old Desmond Filby, also known as Dezi Freeman, is in its fourth day with no sign of the shooter. Police say the suspect is an experienced bushman who's heavily armed which - along with harsh weather conditions - has complicated search efforts. ABC's Gavin Coote spoke to Lisa Owen.
