A woman in Australia shot at police during a chase, was arrested, and sent to a mental health facility.

A 31-year-old woman in Grafton, New South Wales, was arrested after allegedly firing shots at police during a pursuit on March 11, 2026. Officers initially stopped her vehicle, found a knife and ammunition, suspended her learner's permit, and issued a court notice. About an hour later, she was pursued after failing to stop, during which she allegedly fired multiple shots, exited her vehicle, stood on the roof pointing a pistol at officers and herself, and attempted to break into a home before being apprehended. No injuries or vehicle damage were reported. She faces multiple charges, including discharging a firearm to resist arrest and armed break-in. She was denied bail and transferred to a mental health facility.
