Police urge man to hand himself in after shoots fired at Clarkson house

West Australian police are searching for a man after a shot was fired at a house in Perth's northern suburbs late on Tuesday night. Police on Wednesday said they were searching for Jason James Cockie over the shooting, which happened about 10pm on Tuesday in Clarkson. Detective Senior Constable Damian Webb said it was believed a shot was fired at the house, and Cockie may have information relating to the incident. One person was home at the time, but they were not injured. The house only had minor damage. 'We believe that Mr Cockie is known to the persons at [the house] but our main priority at the moment is to locate Mr Cockie as we believe he may pose a risk to the public,' Webb said. Webb said Cockie was believed to be in possession of a gun. Police said the investigation into the house shooting led them to another house on the same street. '[Police] have conducted a search of a house in Clarkson where a quantity of drugs, cash, weapons, including a firearm and ammunition, were located,' Webb said. It is unclear whether the house is related to the shooting incident.
