Police are searching for a gunman south-east of Geraldton.

It comes after a man, 32, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg early on Wednesday morning.

Significant police resources have been deployed to the area, in Moonyoonooka.

“Members of the public are asked to stay away from the area and await further advice,” a WA Police spokesman said.

The injured man has been taken to Geraldton hospital.

More to come.
