Last night in Brown Plains, Logan, a man from Queensland was shot by police after he allegedly fired at officers during a pursuit. It all started around 6:40 pm when Polair began tracking a stolen Suzuki Vitara. The chase continued until the car came to a stop near Brown Plains Road, thanks to the deployment of tyre deflation spikes.
As police approached the car, the driver reportedly opened fire and a pursuit ensued around 7:50 pm. The driver continued to fire shots at police during the chase. Eventually, the Suzuki Vitara was found abandoned on Central Court in Hillcrest around 8:20 pm. The driver then fled in a stolen Kia Cerato, which was conveniently waiting for him nearby.
Polair was able to track the Cerato to a property on Bix Court in Crestmead. Due to the seriousness of the situation, an exclusion zone was established under the Public Safety Preservation Act. This zone stretched from Waratah Drive to Augusta Street and Chambers Flat Road. By 8:40 pm, police negotiators and specialist officers were called in to assist.
The tense standoff lasted for hours until the man was finally shot by police at 12:40 am this morning. He was given immediate first aid and taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital, where he remains undergoing treatment. Thankfully, no police officers were injured during the ordeal. The Ethical Standards Command will be conducting an investigation into the shooting.
This incident has caused shock and disbelief, not only for the community but also for celebrities like Niall Horan, who expressed his disbelief over the death of Liam Payne. It serves as a reminder of the dangers that our police officers face every day while trying to keep us safe. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the man who lost his life in this tragic event. We also mourn the loss of an Australian man who died while heroically rescuing a drowning tourist in Bali.
