Police officer attacked during call-out to WA home, resulting in charges being laid.

Yesterday, an unfortunate event unfolded at a home in Dumbleyung, a town located in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. Around 12:30am, police were called to the residence due to reports of a family violence incident. Upon arrival, they found a man and a woman who were believed to be involved in the altercation. The officers quickly separated the two individuals and began asking questions to gather more information.

However, things took a dangerous turn when one of the officers was physically assaulted by the 35-year-old man. In response, the police were forced to use their firearms and shot the man, who is in his 30s. He was then flown to Royal Perth Hospital to treat his injuries, which fortunately were not life-threatening. The injured police officer was also taken to Narrogin Hospital with a laceration on his head.

As a result of this altercation, the 35-year-old man from Dumbleyung has been charged with assaulting a public officer. He is scheduled to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court today. The case is being investigated by detectives from the WA Police major crime division, with oversight from the internal affairs unit.
