Australian police officer shot dead at rural property
An Australian police officer has been shot dead on a rural property in Tasmania. The officer was undertaking "routine duties" at a house in North Motton, near the town of Ulverstone, on Monday morning when he was fired at by "a member of the public", Tasmania Police said in a statement. A second police officer returned fire, injuring the suspect, who then surrendered. The alleged offender was not seriously injured, but the police officer died of his injuries at the scene. Shootings are relatively rare in Australia, which introduced some of the world's strictest firearm regulations after 35 people were killed in a massacre by a lone gunman at Port Arthur, Tasmania, in 1996. Following Monday's shooting a crime scene was established in North Motton and the coroner was notified, a police spokesperson said, adding that "there is no ongoing threat to the public". "This is a traumatic incident and well-being support is being provided to those involved and affected," the statement said. Police are expected to update the media on Monday afternoon. In a statement, Tasmanian premier Jeremy Rockliff called the incident a "heartbreaking tragedy". To everyone who had the honour of knowing this officer, especially his family and his colleagues... the love of an entire State is with you today."

A mother-of-four was among two skydivers who died following a "tragic accident" at an airfield in Devon. Belinda Taylor was pronounced dead at the scene following Friday afternoon's incident in the area of Dunkeswell Aerodrome near Honiton. On Facebook, her partner Scott Armstrong wrote: "I miss you so much, you were my best friend. "Thank you for everything you've done for me, from making my children feel at home to putting up with my mess. "… there's just so much that I don't have the words to express it. "I feel so lost. I don't know where home is without you." Ms Taylor's eldest son, Connor Bowles, paid tribute to a "selfless woman" who was also a grandmother to two young children. Thanking investigators for their work so far, he told DevonLive: "She will be deeply missed and will leave an everlasting impression on all those she has met in life." The identity of the second skydiver who died is yet to be made public, but their family has been informed. British Skydiving has confirmed it will be investigating the incident - with a report sent to the coroner, the Civil Aviation Authority and the police.
