Police shoot four in a month
THE shooting of a man in the central Queensland city of Rockhampton last night brings to four the number of people shot at by police in the state in the past month.
The latest incident, which left the victim with non-life-threatening injuries, occurred after a man allegedly took seven children hostage.
The 43-year-old allegedly threatened police officers with a knife after releasing seven children he had been holding in a house in Rockhampton.
According to a police spokesman, the children were released after police negotiations and are now fine.
The man allegedly threw pieces of wood at police and then ran at them with a knife.
Officers shot the man in his lower body. He is now in Rockhampton Base Hospital.
The incident was the most recent shooting involving Queensland police.
On October 1, police shot at a man allegedly leaving the scene of a break-in at Oxley golf course in Brisbane's south. He escaped uninjured.
The following night, police shot dead a man who deliberately drove a van at two officers in south Brisbane's Yeerongpilly. The man was Brett Thomas Johnstone, 45, who had spent most of his adult life in jail for drug offences.
On October 25, an abattoir worker, 27, was shot outside his home in Gatton west of Brisbane, after allegedly hurling knives at police.
The four shootings are being investigated by the Ethical Standards Command, with the inquiries overseen by the Crime and Misconduct Commission.
