A Queensland man has been shot by police after he allegedly shot at officers during a pursuit, in what’s been described as “one of the most dangerous situations and incidents Brisbane has seen”.

Polair started tracking an allegedly stolen Suzuki Vitara at 6.40pm in Brown Plains, Logan last night.

Tyre deflation spikes were deployed and the car later came to a stop near Brown Plains Road.

Polair tracked the Cerato to a property in Bix Court, Creastmead where an exclusion zone was established after an emergency declaration was made under the Public Safety Preservation Act.

When police approached the car the driver allegedly shot at police and a pursuit began about 7.50pm.

The driver of the car allegedly fired more shots towards police during the pursuit.

“This is probably one of the most dangerous situations and incidents Brisbane has seen for some time,” Queensland Police Union president Shane Prior said.

“An armed offender, whilst driving, shooting at drivers, pedestrians and police.

Police found the Suzuki Vitara abandoned near Central Court in Hillcrest at 8.20pm, and the 32-year-old allegedly fled in a stolen Kia Cerato, which was waiting for him nearby.

Polair tracked the Cerato to a property in Bix Court, Crestmead, where the man barricaded himself inside his parents home with three others.

An exclusion zone, which stretched from Waratah Drive to Augusta Street and Chambers Flat Road, was established after an emergency declaration was made under the Public Safety Preservation Act.

By 8.40pm police negotiators were called in, as well as specialist police.

Officers, wielding tasers, attempting to force entry but it wasn’t until well after midnight, that the ordeal came to a head.

After a long standoff, the man was shot by police at 12.40am today.

Neighbours have told 9News the man walked outside the house, seemingly about to surrender. But before police could act, he was heading back inside, officers yelling at him not to touch his gun, before taking their opportunity.

“It will be alleged that the offender almost shot police at point blank range after the offender agreed to surrender to police,” Prior said.

It’s understood the man’s gun, was unregistered…tonight he’s in intensive care at Princess Alexandra Hospital.

No police officers were injured in the hours-long ordeal.

The Ethical Standards Command will investigate the shooting.
