Overview
- Police attended a Caswell Road property in Woodhill and officers shot a man in his 40s after he allegedly advanced on them while armed with a firearm about 9pm on Friday.
- Officers provided first aid at the scene and locals were told to stay inside before ambulance crews airlifted the wounded man to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a reported stable condition.
- A crime scene has been declared and the Ethical Standards Command has opened an investigation into the shooting with oversight from the Crime and Corruption Commission.
- Authorities have not disclosed why police initially attended the property and independent witness details or other background facts have not yet been released.
- Under Queensland practice the internal Ethical Standards review with CCC oversight can lead to criminal charges or disciplinary action, and the outcome will shape local public scrutiny and any policy questions about use of force.
