A 63-year-old man has been charged with firearm offences after firing shots inside Australia’s Canberra airport yesterday afternoon.

Police said the man, from New South Wales, sat on seats in a check-in area before shooting a number times into the building’s windows.

No-one was injured in the incident, which sent passengers running in fear.

Gun violence is rare in Australia, which has some of the toughest firearms laws in the world.
