00:00
Well, police say on face value this was supposed to be a routine job that quickly escalated
00:08
into a life-threatening situation.
00:11
Two officers were called to a property in the Brisbane suburb of Annerley just before
00:15
9.30 this morning after the homeowners reported a man trespassing in their backyard.
00:22
Police say the two officers approached a 26-year-old male who was armed with a piece of timber
00:28
and that's when the situation escalated.
00:31
During a struggle, the man lunged for a firearm belonging to the senior officer.
00:36
The firearm discharged and that senior constable received a gunshot wound to the left leg.
00:42
During this time, the junior officer, in his first year of policing, was forced to discharge
00:47
his firearm and that struck the male twice in the stomach.
00:52
Police say the junior officer then applied first aid to the injured officer.
00:56
The 26-year-old man was tasered by other officers who attended the scene shortly after
01:02
before he was then taken to hospital where he is now undergoing surgery.
01:07
The injured officer is in a stable condition in hospital.
01:11
Police have said the homeowner and the man are not known to each other but the circumstances
01:16
of how he ended up in their backyard will form part of the investigation.
01:22
I think you'd appreciate that any circumstances such as this are traumatic.
01:29
There's a number of challenges that both of these officers will face, both particularly
01:34
physically but also psychologically and we have a very, very robust welfare system that
01:40
sits around these two officers.
01:41
That has already been wrapped around those two officers and their families, their families
01:44
have been advised and we'll be supporting them as well.
01:47
The inner city suburb of Annerley is a quiet neighbourhood and largely has a mix of families
01:54
and young professionals and retirees, so this incident has understandably shocked residents.
02:01
Let's hear from them now.
02:02
It's a really quiet, beautiful, community-minded area and yeah, it's a surprise.
02:08
This incident will be investigated by the Ethical Standards Command which is in line
02:14
with standard procedure.
