Episode Details

Police in Cairns, Queensland, used firearms after a man armed with knives resisted arrest on Benjamina Street, fatally shooting him and also striking an innocent bystander — both were rushed to hospital. The incident follows a deadly police confrontation in Maryborough the day before, where an officer was shot during a domestic dispute call. Amid rising tensions, the Queensland government is rolling out $14 million worth of new Glock 45 pistols for over 14,000 officers — replacing outdated 1998-issue weapons to better equip cops for high-risk situations and protect the public.
