Lake Cargelligo

Lake Cargelligo, a rural town in central-west New South Wales, Australia with a population of approximately 1,500, is currently the focus of an intense police manhunt. The town is newsworthy due to a recent triple murder that occurred on Thursday, where three people were killed and one wounded in a shooting across two locations. The suspect, Julian Ingram, is accused of fatally shooting his pregnant former partner and two others. Ingram was last seen driving out of Lake Cargelligo and is believed to be armed. Despite reporting to local police as part of his bail conditions hours before the shootings, he is now on the run. Police are confident Ingram is still alive and may be receiving assistance from people within the community. A $250,000 reward has been offered for information leading to his arrest. The investigation has widened, with police deploying air support and searching properties in surrounding areas, including Mount Hope, following an unconfirmed sighting.
