Yeah we heard what sounded like shots.
Seems the āOne Deadā is the driver. Shot by Police, apparently was armed.

Some reports say driver arrested. Hopefully not the case if thereās one confirmed dead.
Sounds like a meth head crim (to me) ā¦ Bloke went spare in a car, doing burnouts o/side Flinders St Station, hanging out of the car yelling.
