Manhunt underway for alleged triple murderer as police explore possible accomplice in remote NSW.
Police are investigating a triple murder in remote New South Wales and have widened their search for the suspect, 37-year-old Julian Ingram, who is presumed armed with at least one firearm. Ingram was last seen driving out of Lake Cargelligo on Thursday and has been linked to two alleged shootings that killed his pregnant former partner, Sophie Quinn, and her friend, John Harris.
The NSW police assistant commissioner, Andrew Holland, urged residents to exercise extreme caution while searching for Ingram, citing concerns that he may be receiving help to evade authorities. "I think everyone needs to be concerned for their safety at this point," Holland said. "He's a man with a firearm, and he's obviously taken a violent action in a country location."
Holland confirmed that Ingram had never held a firearms licence and was known to the community, which may have made him more difficult to track down. The police are also investigating where Ingram obtained his alleged firearm, but crime scene investigators have found some indication of the type of weapon used.
The murder has sent shockwaves through the small community of Lake Cargelligo, where around 1,300 people live. Holland acknowledged that the tragedy would have a significant impact on the local community and expressed concern for the families of the victims.
Residents in the area reported hearing gunshots on Thursday afternoon, but few details are known about the shootings. Police have searched several properties in the area, including two at Euabalong, but Ingram remains at large. A tactical operations unit, negotiators, and homicide investigators from PolAir and the defence force have been deployed to assist with the search.
As the manhunt continues, authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and report any sightings of Ingram or his alleged accomplice. The investigation is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward.

. I mean who uses the name Julian Ingram? Sounds like something out of a bad action movie. Anyway, 37 and thought he could just kill two people and getaway with it? Not on our watch, mate! Police are doing their thing, but I'm pretty sure the real challenge is finding him in this remote area 
.
. I mean, who needs a firearms license? Sounds like someone who just wants to make a big impact 
. On a more serious note, I hope the community is getting the support it needs after this terrible tragedy 
.
. Guess you could say he's been hiding in plain sight... or should I say, out of plain sight? Hehe, good luck to the police finding him!
i mean a pregnant woman & her friend getting murdered in such a remote area... the thought of the local community having to live with this trauma is just devastating 
it's not just about him, it's about who else might be involved or at risk 
! Like, a clear headline, some concise paragraphs, and easy-to-read fonts. That would really help me understand the situation better 
. And can we please get some more info about the community's reaction to this tragedy? I want to know how it's affecting them on a personal level 
.
. But until then, I'm just going to stick to my carefully curated format and layout 
.
. It's heartbreaking that Julian Ingram was known to the community, but somehow managed to evade detection for so long 
. My thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy, especially the local residents who have been left feeling so vulnerable & scared 
.
i mean imagine bein able to track some1 down using data from their own devices 
its wild how much technology can help solve crimes 
. And now, police are worried he might be getting help from someone else... it's like, what if there's a whole network of people involved? 
.
and what's up with the fact that hes never held a firearms licence? how does that even work in australia? shouldn'tnt there be some kinda record keeping on ppl who own guns? 
I hope they catch him soon & bring some closure to the community 
it's like, how does one person do so much damage?? 
like what was he thinkin?? 
anyone got any info on where Ingram might be? 
37yo bloke goes on a killing spree and the authorities gotta go full tactical op to find him? it's like something outta a movie 
meanwhile, innocent ppl in that small town are livin' in fear, and i'm not even sure if we'll ever know the whole truth 
n u know how many ppl could've been hurt or killed? The police r doin thier best but it's scary thinkin bout someone as violent as him bein out there. U gotta keep an eye on this situation, no one deserves 2 go thru what Sophie n John went thru 
. I can only imagine how scared everyone must be right now 
This guy wasn't licensed and somehow got his hands on a gun... it's just not right 
. Fingers crossed for everyone involved 
the community is shaken i hope they catch him ASAP
