00:01The shooting of a 21-year-old man by an officer in Glenalpine has triggered a critical incident investigation.
00:08Police say officers were already at the home on Strathmore Place at around midday,
00:12responding to a report of domestic violence.
00:15The 21-year-old man wasn't home at the time.
00:19Police will allege he called triple zero and made a threat before arriving at the home.
00:23They say police vehicles were parked outside the house when the man returned and confronted officers while armed with a
00:30gun.
00:31He pointed the firearm at police.
00:34Very dynamic situation as I said and police responded as appropriate in terms of their training.
00:40The officer responded by firing a single shot to the man's stomach.
00:45Neighbours nearby described the scene that then unfolded in the otherwise suburban street.
00:50I had heard of shots, at least one or two in quick succession.
00:55And then when I looked out the front and witnessed four police officers were tending assistance to someone lying on
01:01the ground.
01:03And then within minutes later numerous other police and ambulance vehicles arrived.
01:07The officers rushed to treat the man before paramedics arrived.
01:10He was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a serious condition.
01:13How was theission?
