Officer shot during Fraser Coast welfare check
A 45-year-old man from Gayndah is dead, and a first-year Queensland police constable is in a stable but critical condition after being shot in the leg during a welfare check at Yengarie on the Fraser Coast near Maryborough. The armed man shot at police with a rifle when they arrived at the property just before 6 pm, forcing officers to retreat and call in specialist units. The gunman was later found deceased on the property, where a woman and child were also present.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
