SYDNEY, Australia — The police said four people were shot and killed on Tuesday in Darwin, the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory, when a gunman went on a shooting spree in the city’s main business district. The Northern Territory police said at least one additional person had been wounded, and that a 45-year-old man had been arrested within an hour of shots being fired. The authorities said the shooting was not an act of terrorism. A video showed three officers in military camouflage subduing the man. “We’re still trying to establish the intent and motivation behind this, but all I can say, sadly, is that people have lost their lives this evening,” Reece Kershaw, the Northern Territory police commissioner, said at a news conference in Darwin.
