A MAN shot by police after he confronted them with a tactical shovel during a routine check at a unit at Mayfield last year says he has no memory of what happened because he was inhaling 10 cans of deadly butane gas a day.
Aaron Barrie Searle, 47, a man with a long history of drug and alcohol addiction, mental health issues and suicide attempts, agreed he "probably" attacked the two police officers who came to ask him to leave his ex-partner's unit because he wanted to be shot and killed.
