My cousin lives nearby. Please share this everywhere. Keep eyes peeled but stay calm.
Another senseless attack. When will this stop? Three critical injuries is just too much.
He was seen near the site? I thought he drove off. Are they still using vehicles?
Gippsland feels so quiet usually. How did this happen there? Hope they catch him quickly.
Praying for the victims. This is absolutely horrifying. Stay safe everyone in Tyers.
