A MAN has been charged with allegedly firing several shots at police and firefighters following a three-hour siege yesterday.
Police have charged Suhail Khudruj, 28, of Sunshine after the three-hour stand off.
He faces allegations that several shots were fired, including one at police, during an early-morning siege in Melbourne’s west today.
Khudruj faced an out-of sessions hearing last night and was remanded in custody to appear before the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today.
He has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of conduct endangering life and one count of prohibited person possess firearm.
Firefighters were called to Second Ave, Sunshine for a factory fire while police were called to the same street for a distressed male.
Sunshine MFB senior station officer Ian Munro said firefighters were looking for the scene of the callout when they saw a man in front of the factory.

Acting Insp Glenn Mayne said on arrival the fire brigade drove past the man and the police stopped with a view to having a conversation with him.
But they will allege in court that he was armed with a rifle.
The police airwing, dog squad and special operations group were all involved in the drama which was resolved shortly before 7am.
