Police say the suspected Darwin gunman was on parole, allegedly looking for a person named Alex, and used a prohibited firearm, that may have been stolen as far back as 1997. At least four people died in the shooting.

Four men are dead, a woman has been wounded and the alleged gunman responsible is under police guard in hospital after a bloody rampage in five different locations throughout Darwin.

The 45-year-old suspected gunman, who was on parole, was arrested after being on the run for about an hour following the mass shooting in and around a hotel in Darwin's CBD on Tuesday.
