Two civilian witnesses and a police officer have told a coronial inquest they believe the officer who fatally shot a man in Drouin in January 2021 had no other option.
On the day he died, 31-year-old Benjamin Madex carjacked a vehicle at knifepoint in Mirboo North and, over the course of more than an hour, drove erratically through communities including Morwell, Traralgon and Churchill.
