A Tasmanian woman has been charged with attempted murder after firing shots at police who were executing a search warrant.<\/p>\n

The search was being conducted as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, with police approaching a house in Collinsvale, around 20 kilometres north-east of Hobart.<\/p>\n

As police entered the gate of the property in an unmarked police car, it is alleged that shots were fired at them.<\/p>\n

Police later found a bullet hole located near the wheel guard of the car.<\/p>\n

When police entered the property, they arrested a 37-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man without incident.<\/p>\n

Both were in possession of firearms.<\/p>\n

“At this stage, investigators believe the residents did not realise it was police entering the property,” Assistant Commissioner Adrian Bodnar said.<\/p>\n

The woman was charged with attempted murder and several firearms-related offences, whilst the man was charged with firearms offences as well as attempted aggravated assault.<\/p>\n

Bodnar said no officer – or no resident – should be placed in such a situation.<\/p>\n

“Regardless, it is reprehensible that our officers were placed at such risk while performing their duties,” he said.<\/p>\n

“This incident could have had tragic consequences, and it was extremely fortunate that no one was physically harmed.”<\/p>\n

The pair are expected to appear at Hobart Magistrates Court today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Tasmanian woman has been charged with attempted murder after firing shots at police who were executing a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243257,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-243256","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
