Queensland police’s Brisbane regional crime coordinator Det Supt Andrew Massingham held a press conference earlier regarding the officer shooting a man dead in South Brisbane this afternoon.
He said police had been called out to a business where a man was in the roof cavity. He alleges the man fell through the roof and attempted to assault people in the business, but left before police arrived.
Later a man matching his description was seen walking on the street, and attempted to enter the rear of a police van. When he was shot by an officer, he allegedly rushed at the police in an “aggressive manner”, Massingham said, with a 30cm metal rod.
Police attempted to use a stun gun, but it was ineffective. Massingham said he was shot two to three times after that, and died not long after.
He said the man is not yet identified, but is in his mid-30s and caucasian.
