Man faces court after shots fired

A MAN will appear in court today after a domestic dispute at Salisbury Heights last night where two shots were fired and two people were assaulted.

Police were called to Dwyer Ct, about 8.45pm, after a man entered a house and allegedly fired two shots from a shotgun.

The occupants - a man and a woman - were not struck, but the intruder, who was known to the couple, assaulted both before running from the scene, police said.

The offender then ran to the intersection of Main North Rd and Blacktop Rd at Hillbank, where he allegedly carjacked a motorist.

He drove to Craigmore where police were able to arrest him after a short search.

The Riverland man, 41, was charged with several offences including aggravated serious criminal trespass, aggravated assault causing harm, two counts of acts to endanger life, possessing an unregistered firearm, being unlicensed to possess a firearm and aggravated robbery.

He was taken to the Lyell McEwin Hospital with minor injuries after being bitten by the police dog.

The man was refused bail and will appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court.

Police said further charges could be laid.
