Two men sought over Canberra home invasion where woman shot

Police released images of about two men after a woman was shot during a home invasion robbery in Canberra on August 22.

About two men forced their way into a townhouse in Isabella Plains at about 9 pm on August 22. One carried a firearm, the other a machete.

The men allegedly threatened several people and searched the home for money and other valuables. As they left, a firearm was discharged and a woman sustained serious head injuries.

The men fled with stolen property, both wearing dark hooded jumpers, dark pants and gloves. Police released their images and are seeking information from anyone in the area that evening, or with CCTV or dash-cam footage.
