People warned to stay indoors as gunman loose in Adelaide
A quiet Adelaide suburb is under siege as armed police hunt for a fugitive gunman.
Police are staking out an area at Salisbury Park in North Adelaide after a man was shot in the leg at Sheringa Crescent just after 12.30pm on Tuesday.
A South Australia Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia Special Tasks and Rescue Group officers were outside the house were the man was shot.
They are using a microphone to repeat: 'come outside with nothing in your hands and you won't be harmed. The house is surrounded', according to a 7 News reporter.
'They are trying to determine if the gunman is still in the house,' she said.
