Airport shooting incident witnesses sought

The ACT Policing investigation into a shooting incident at Canberra Airport on Sunday, 14 August 2022 continues, and police are seeking additional witnesses.

While many witness statements have been gathered, investigators believe there are people who were in or around the Canberra Airport check-in area in the lead-up to, and during the shooting who have not yet spoken to police.

In particular, police are asking anyone who had family members or friends who used the airport early Sunday afternoon, and who witnessed any suspicious behaviour to contact police if they have not already done so.

A similar call is being put out to any travelers from interstate who used the airport around that time, who have since returned home, to speak to police if they witnessed anything relevant to the shooting.

Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 (or via www.crimestoppers.com.au) and quote reference 7187298.

Please note, anyone calling from outside of the ACT, should call ACT Policing on 02 5127 0051.
