A 41-year-old man was shot by police after allegedly ramming a furniture store in Rochedale, south of Brisbane, and threatening workers inside. The man was armed with a fishing knife and advanced towards police before being shot.
An armed man has been shot outside a furniture shop south of Brisbane allegedly after he advanced towards police. 9 News can reveal a first year officer fired the shot after his partner's Taser failed to stop the man who had earlier rammed the store and threatened workers inside. It was at an Amart support centre in Rochedale where police say a 41-year-old man stormed in with a fishing knife after ramming the shopfront with his car this morning. It's not clear why the man showed up to the store.
9News understands a member of the public called triple zero after spotting a man driving erratically. He has undergone surgery and remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition. It's understood numerous Amart employees witnessed the ordeal, with police now reviewing CCTV, phone and police body worn footage as they continue to investigate the shooting. 'They thought they were going to a traffic related job to then turning to a situation to use a firearm because their lives are threatened,' Shane Prior from the Police Union\\ sai
