Additional warning to North Perthians

There has been a shoot out between police and someone in Clarkson starting at 12 today (Wed 13 sept).

Please post any information if you have it. My partner is in the area and unable to leave. Estimates are that this will continue and the roads may be blocked west of the freeway as you head home.

Stay safe all and avoid the area.
