Charges laid after New Norfolk shooting, stabbing incident

A woman has faced court after an elderly man was critically shot and stabbed.

A 47-year-old New Norfolk woman has appeared in the Hobart Magistrates Court charged with attempted murder.

Tamara Adams was charged at an out-of-hours court sitting on Saturday morning.

Ms Adams did not plead to the charge and was remanded in custody to re-appear in court on Monday morning.

The charge arises from an incident in which police said a 74-year-old man received gunshot and stab wounds at a house in Humphrey Street at New Norfolk on Friday night.

A police spokesman said the man remains in a critical condition in the Royal Hobart Hospital.
