The Victoria police chief commissioner, Mike Bush, has confirmed a man was fatally shot by police shortly after 8.30am on Monday, after an hours-long standoff in which he failed to surrender peacefully.
He would not confirm the man was Freeman but said the shooting concluded Operation Summit, the investigation into Freeman’s actions, and brought closure to the families of the slain police officers.
