Police swarmed this usually quiet street after a routine job turned life-threatening.
00:09
The situation itself was very dynamic, very traumatic for all involved including the witnesses.
00:15
Two officers were called to a home on Tamar Street in Annerley about 9 o'clock this morning
00:21
after the owners reported a stranger in their backyard.
00:24
Police approached the 26-year-old man in an agitated state who was armed with a piece of timber.
00:30
They got into a struggle. The man then lunged for the senior officer's gun.
00:35
The firearm discharged and the senior constable received a gunshot wound to the left inner thigh.
00:43
The first year constable then shot the man twice in the stomach.
00:47
I heard a very loud voice which I assume was a police officer saying,
00:53
don't move, stay on the ground and then a couple of shots rang out.
00:58
He then provided first aid to the senior constable.
01:02
Despite being shot twice, officers tasered the man before taking him into custody.
01:07
I know the officer who was shot today, who I had the opportunity to go and speak to today,
01:12
feared for his life and he thought he was going to die.
01:15
Queensland Health said a patient was brought into the Princess Alexandra Hospital the night before
01:21
and received treatment in the emergency department.
01:24
But when the patient absconded this morning, staff immediately contacted police.
01:30
The man is in a serious condition after undergoing surgery.
01:34
The 40-year-old officer is in a stable condition.
01:37
Residents are shocked by what occurred.
01:40
It's a really quiet, beautiful, community-minded area and yeah, it's a surprise.
01:46
To think that a call-out can end in something like that sends shivers up your spine.
01:54
It's being investigated by the Ethical Standards Command.
