Victoria Police said a confrontation occurred after officers intercepted the allegedly stolen car on Police Road, Mulgrave, about 5.30am on Friday. Damian Jackson, acting commander for the southern metro region, said a man was at home with his wife and six-month-old child when a man approached him in his driveway. \\u201CThe husband has seen a bulge around the male\\u2019s waist, believed that to be a gun, and the vehicle has subsequently been taken,\\u201D Jackson said. Following this, Jackson said witnesses had reported seeing a gun pointed out of the stolen car, which had reached speeds of up to 110km/h during the overnight chase. He said a male police officer fired two rounds into the car when he saw the woman allegedly point the gun at the man driving the vehicle. \\u201CA 29-year-old woman, who was in the car and armed with a firearm, was shot by police,\\u201D police said. \\u201CShe has been taken to hospital with non-life-threatening upper body injuries and is currently under police guard.\\u201D The 27-year-old Noble Park man was also arrested at the scene. Jackson said the investigation was ongoing and urged witnesses to come forward. \\u201CWe\\u2019re aware of a couple of the incidents, but there\\u2019s clearly been several others where that firearm has been pointed at several other vehicles,\\u201D he said. \\u201CIt was really significant and serious offending, and it would have been really quite scary for the community and people that had seen that.\\u201D The Armed Crime Squad was investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. \\u201CAn investigation into the matter is underway with oversight by Professional Standards Command, as is standard practice when a police firearm is discharged,\\u201D police said in a statement. Resident Jack Wallace-Young, who lives a few doors down the road, said he became aware of the shooting when his daughter noticed police lights outside the window early on Friday morning. \\u201CI\\u2019ve come to get bread for school lunches and noticed the whole place was cordoned off,\\u201D he said. \\u201CI walked down and spoke to one of the officers and she informed me she\\u2019d been there since 5.30 this morning, and that\\u2019s pretty much all she disclosed.\\u201D He said he had noticed police attending the area more often recently. \\u201CMulgrave and Springvale seem to be having more crime and police activity. A few streets over the other night there was a bit of a brawl or a gang argument towards Springvale south,\\u201D he said. Surrounding streets remained closed on Friday morning. A nearby school was open, though students were diverted away from Police Road to an alternate entrance. Jackson said police were investigating whether the woman involved was already known to them. The incident comes less than a week after a man allegedly armed with a metal pole was shot by police during a welfare check in the southeastern Melbourne suburb of Doveton. That man was later charged with three offences including assaulting police. Jackson said the incidents were completely unrelated, and using their gun was a last resort for officers. \\u201CNo police member wants to come to work and have to either draw or use their firearm. We are ensuring the members involved in both incidents are given appropriate welfare.\\u201D Anyone who witnessed the incident or with further information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at .

of people viewing it online thanks to a video promoting the home featuring Hollywood star Liam Neeson A Mulgrave home spruiked by Hollywood star Liam Neeson has passed in at auction with the $1.27m best offer below the top of its asking range The agent handling the home’s sale is now preparing to use a very particular set of skills to get a deal done in the aftermath BigginScott director Ming Xu said the extraordinary Liam Neeson voice cameo in the marketing video for 34 Gertrude St had resulted in more than 5000 people looking at the home online ahead of its auction today RELATED: Hollywood actor Liam Neeson stars in Mulgrave house listing video Prospective buyer interest in display homes surges across Victoria post-rate cut Revealed: Interest rate cut sparks Melbourne bidding wars as auction prices soar past reserves It’s more than double what a house in the area normally gets and close to 3000 of the visits came within a few days of the video being posted online — thanks to a connection between its film director owner and the Hollywood star multiple living zones and was last advertised with a $1.2m-$1.3m asking price But Real Estate Institute of Victoria president Jacob Caine said there was plenty of reason for sellers to be positive on the first weekend where buyers had functionally had enough time to make adjustments based on the Reserve Bank’s decision to cut interest rates Mr Caine is still expecting a “bumper result” for the city’s auctions The Mulgrave home promoted by Liam Neeson comes with an impressive outdoor zone the home stands out for more reasons than its owners’ connection with a Hollywood heavyweight “The weekend ahead will be the weekend that it has a real world impact of the rate cut,” Mr Caine said but when people go out to bid today they will have a much clearer understanding of what their borrowing capacity and serviceability is.” Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Victoria representative Matthew Scaffidi said those planning a purchase now had until about the end of March to get the best of the market with Easter creating a significant barrier to sales in the middle of April and lower listings expected after that as the market heads into the traditionally quiet winter Mr Scaffidi said it was possible this week’s clearance rate might not jump immediately if home sellers got ahead of themselves and assumed prices had already risen in response to the cut — however a further bump to the market was likely as a new wave of buyers emerged in the next 20 to 50 days sold during the week for close to $200,000 above expectations The home’s light and bright interior made it a compelling choice for five bidders There were already signs of rising demand this week in midweek auctions Ray White Taylors Lakes principal Peter Travlos watched 25 of 27 homes sell under the hammer in two nights of sales earlier in the week and noted that the results had very clearly been influenced by the interest rate cut “There is a whole different vibe compared to January when we had two or three bidders,” Mr Travlos said One of the top results was for 7 Salvana Court, Taylors Lakes, which sold for $1.202m close to $200,000 above what had been expected “In the past six months we haven’t seen anything exceed $100,000 over reserve it’s been closer to $50,000-$60,000 in that timeline,” Mr Travlos said Sign up to

The estate is expected to yield a 113,000sq m of gross lettable area. An industry source told The Urban Developer they believed around $160 million was paid for the site. Property magnate Harry Stamoulis has been reported as the previous owner of the site, picking it up for $90.75 million in 2017. The site location is why the partners wanted it,  Elanor industrial and logistics co-head Myron Poobalasingam said. “The site’s unrivalled access to major arterial roads makes it well positioned to capitalise on the much-talked about last mile logistics thematic with the site having access to approximately 35 per cent of Melbourne’s population within a 30-minute drive time catchment,” Poobalasingam said. Supermarket giant Woolworths currently leases a 68,000sq m storage facility on the site. That ends on 2026 when it plans to close that facility down. For its part, PGIM Real Estate’s made the acquisition under its strategy to acquire sites in the Asia Pacific region. It is the $305-billion  real estate investment and financing business for PGIM. In turn, PGIM is a subsidiary of Prudential Financial Inc, with $1.98 trillion in global investment management. PGIM Australia real estate head of transactions Greg Linklater said the continuing growth of e-commerce was underscoring the rising demand for last-mile logistics. “The structural trends of e-commerce penetration and favourable long-term population growth outlook in Australia are making a strong investment case for the logistics sector,” Linklater said. “We think this investment presents a compelling opportunity with strong rental growth prospects.” PGIM Real Estate managing director Steve Bulloch said they had made six strategic investments so far this year in Australia with an emphasis on the logistics and living sectors. It is also the third successful capital raise this year in partnership with Elanor’s institutional distribution partner Fidante.  Play Duration: 6 minutes 24 seconds6m Brought to you by Can Labor hold on to its seat, with Richie Bates looking to replace Curtis Pitt as the ALP member?
