ABC Radio Perth’s Clint Wheeldon mentioned the incident before the start of the second quarter of the AFL match between Fremantle and Gold Coast. He said that a local reporter is outside the shopping centre, and would report live at half time to listeners in South Australia.

I presume ABC will also be getting people in for radio coverage if there are any press conferences.

Top story on ABC News Channel now with the 5pm (AEST) bulletin.

7 didn’t have a live cross to a reporter, 9 and 10 did. 7 very brief mention.

There will be an update from authorities at 5:30pm Adelaide time. Will be covered by ABC.

I presume 7 Adelaide are focusing on local coverage (since they have 5pm news), and would be preparing for that.

ABC had reporter on the scene.

Seven made it sound like it was two teenagers going for each other. Let’s hope this is true and there was/ is no danger to the public.

I think it’s SA’s equivalent to SWAT. Probably the SA Police unit that deals with these situations.

7 News Adelaide had a brief report and cross to the scene, now onto other stories. Unsure if they will be taking the 5pm press conference.

Media conference live on 10 AEST

“3 boys approaching another group”. “Appeared to be targeted, not intending to attack anyone else in the centre”. No one was injured.

So the same as Seven with their 5pm local news?

Correct, STAR stands for Special Tactics And Rescue from memory but I could be mistaken.

9 broke into their programming for a special bulletin, 7 just did a cross in their regular 17:00 bulletin.
