Northgate Fake shooting 14/7/09

TASMANIA Police has today been inundated with calls about a shooting at Northgate Shopping Centre.

Panicked members of the public flooded the Tasmania Police radio room with calls after falsely believing a police training exercise involving a shooting at Northgate Shopping Centre was real.

Many Tasmanians believed an armed gunman was on the loose this morning after overhearing transmissions on a police radio channel.

But Inspector Robert Bonde has reassured Tasmanians that the radio transmissions were part of a training exercise conducted at the Tasmania Police Academy this morning -- which involved a number of transmissions on the police radio training channel -- and were not connected to any real events.

He said some transmissions were overheard by members of the public who were not aware they related to a training exercise.

This resulted in a number of phone calls by concerned members of the public to the police communications unit.
