Brisbane man shot twice by officers as children hid in bushes, police say

police officer he had allegedly lunged at with a large metal sharpening file during a “horrible incident” at a house in Brisbane’s south.

The woman had locked her husband in the garage, with one of the carport doors open, and some of their sons were hiding in bushes when police arrived, he alleged. The man is in a serious but stable condition in Princess Alexandra hospital and was due to undergo surgery later on Monday. “It still required the application of a second shot and then he was still able to throw the weapon at us,” he alleged.

it seems that ringing police for help in a mental health crisis is asking police to shoot the person suffering the crisis ... unwell people have been shot in driveways of family homes for years in QLD - surely there is a more considered strategic way to serve and protect
