Investigators are appealing for witnesses in relation to a police incident at Sunnybank Hills last week, where a man was shot by police.
Police responded to reports of a disturbance around 9pm on Thursday, April 9, on Wynne Street and just after 10pm officers located the man in a carpark on McCullough Street at Sunnybank.
The 43-year-old man allegedly set himself on fire, running towards police before being shot.
