* Christopher Wayne Hudson has surgery for \'injury\'
* Hudson surrendered quietly to police yesterday
* Surrender happened after lengthy negoiations
ALLEGED Melbourne gunman Christopher Wayne Hudson is undergoing surgery at Melbourne\'s St Vincent Hospital for an injury to his left arm.
Mr Hudson was due to appear in court to answer charges, including murder, stemming from the shooting in central Melbourne on Monday morning that killed one man and left two people in hospital.
A police spokesman would not reveal the specific nature of the suspect\'s injuries. Victoria\'s Corrective Services department would also not comment on the health of an individual prisoner.
His case proceeded in his absence at the Melbourne Magistrates Court, where police prosecutors applied for an extension to continue preparing evidence.
Two victims have not yet been interviewed by police, the court head. Officers also plan to view CCTV footage.
Mr Hudson was remanded in custody until August 29. He was charged with murder late yesterday after ending a national manhunt with a peaceful surrender.

The 29-year-old walked into the Wallan police station, 50km north of Melbourne, at 4.30pm (AEST) and handed himself in.
The bikie was driven to the homicide squad\'s St Kilda Rd offices to be questioned over a deadly burst of gunfire in city rush hour on Monday morning.
Mr Hudson was charged about two hours later with the murder of solicitor and father of three Brendan Keilar, 43, shot dead with a pistol after he intervened to help Kara Douglas, 24.
He faces attempted murder counts over the gunshot wounding of Dutch backpacker Paul De Waard, 25, and Ms Douglas, who remain in the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
He also faces charges of unlawful imprisonment and intentionally causing serious injury after a wild night out allegedly turned violent about 8am.
The surrender followed hours of negotiations, through a solicitor, with police. Detectives are believed to have had word on Tuesday night Mr Hudson was in the Broadford area.
Det Insp Kim West of the state crime squads is believed to have been a key figure in arranging the peaceful breakthrough.
Call with parents
Mr Hudson\'s father Terry also spoke to his son by mobile phone as he tried to avert a bloody end to the manhunt.
The Special Operations Group was on standby in case force was required amid fears Hudson could be armed.
Mr Hudson\'s mother Anne told the Herald Sun her son called her minutes before he walked into the police station to tell her of his intentions and say he loved her.
He called back soon after, in custody, to say he was OK and police were treating him well.
We are very relieved. He rang and said he was going to hand himself in, Mrs Hudson said.
He wants us to come down. We\'re coming down tomorrow.
Kara Douglas\' mother, Linda, last night said she and the family were very relieved Mr Hudson had handed himself in.
We are also thankful that nobody else has been hurt in any way, Mrs Douglas said.
She said Kara was due for another operation today.
So we have another night of worrying. Every minute we don\'t think about our beautiful daughter . . . are spent thinking about that lady (Mr Keilar\'s wife Alice) and her children, and the backpacker (Mr De Waard).
Mr Hudson, dressed in a black T-shirt with yellow logo, arrived at St Kilda Rd about 6.30pm.
Det Insp Stephen Clark, of the homicide squad, thanked the people of Melbourne.
It\'s been a fairly horrific time particularly to a large number of witnesses who have been traumatised, he said.
Mr De Waard was last night in a serious but stable condition.
Ms Douglas, also shot at close range, was yesterday brought out of an induced coma and was able to speak to her parents.
Mr Hudson was remanded in an out-of-sessions court hearing from which the media was banned because of security fears.
