A major police operation is under way in the Wheatbelt following reports a man discharged a firearm inside a small country town pub.
Police say the tactical response group, along with the police air wing, is en route to the Wheatbelt town of Mogumber following reports a male discharged a firearm inside the local pub on Bindoon-Moora Road on Friday evening.
There are no reported injuries, but police say a male offender is still at large.
Police say the firearm was discharged into the ground at the venue as the situation remains ongoing.
When The West Australian called the venue on Friday night, the manager denied any incident had occurred.
In late 2023, 58 people lived in Mogumber, with locals rallying together to buy the tavern, which is now named the Mogumber Hub.
The town itself has only a few houses, a hall, an oval, and a post office that opens twice a week.
More to come.
