Police have declared a critical incident after a bloody standoff in Narraweena on Friday evening, which it said began after officers were called to a home on Warringah Road about 5:20pm.
Officers said they were approached by a man wielding a knife who, during a confrontation, threw a fire extinguisher at a male officer, hitting him in the head.A second officer at the scene fired his gun and shot the man in the leg. The male officer was taken to hospital for treatment and the man was taken under police guard to hospital in a stable condition.A critical incident team from an independent police area command was assigned to investigate the circumstances.
Fair call. Save a shedload of public money defending the gronk.
Bit of a waste of a bullet only aiming for and hitting the perps leg
Glad to see there's one police officer who can shoot someone in the leg to disable them rather than killing them.
Must have been one sharp fire extinguisher.
Stabbed with a fire extinguisher? 😯
Pointy fire extinguisher, I guess.
