Victoria's Police Commissioner is calling the hunt for Dezi Freeman the biggest in Australian history, crediting New Zealand for its assistance.

Local media's reporting the 56-year-old's been shot by police after more than seven months on the run. 

Freeman killed two police officers executing a warrant at his rural Porepunkah property last August. 

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says he'd been on the run for over seven months, and investigations into the case are set to take place.
