Good morning, Elias Visontay here with some of the top stories of the day so far.

Police were called to a home in the suburb of Floreat on Friday afternoon after reports of gunshots.
Detectives said a 63-year-old man arrived at the property about 4.30pm looking for his former partner who was not there at the time.
