Superintendent Post said the officer involved was still on duty, but has been confined to administrative duties."We are sorry for what has happened to you today — and that's not pre-empting anything that will come out of the investigation, because the investigation still has to be conducted," he said."I do ask for the greater community for calm over the weekend whilst we conduct the investigation and take the appropriate action.
