In western Sydney last night, a tragic event unfolded as police were forced to use lethal force against a man wielding a knife. The incident was immediately declared critical, with emergency services rushing to the scene on Bird Walton Avenue in Middleton Grange at around 11pm.
According to reports, the 34-year-old man was threatening officers with his weapon when they arrived. Despite their attempts to de-escalate the situation, the man continued to pose a danger to both the officers and himself. It was then that a 33-year-old officer was struck with the knife, but luckily his protective vest shielded him from serious injury.
In a last resort effort to subdue the individual, a Taser was deployed but unfortunately had no effect. With no other options available, the man was ultimately shot by the police. Despite their best efforts, the officers were unable to save the man's life, despite performing CPR until paramedics arrived.
In light of this tragic event, a critical incident was declared and an investigation has been launched to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Additionally, an independent review will also be conducted to ensure transparency and accountability.
