00:00There's certainly plenty of questions surrounding this case still this morning.
00:06I'm here on Margaret Street, which is one of two crime scenes here in Caboolture, north of Brisbane.
00:11Police were called up the road to Beerburham Street just before 4 o'clock this morning,
00:16where a man in his 40s had been stabbed in the neck.
00:19That man's been taken to hospital in a serious condition where he remains.
00:23The alleged offender then fled, believed to be on foot, here to Margaret Street,
00:27where police allege he threatened a woman in her 20s with a knife.
00:32Police were then called to this address here and that's where the altercation with officers began.
00:37That man was then shot and he died here at the scene.
00:41Now we've spoken to some neighbours here in Caboolture who say
00:44they haven't seen anything like this in this neighbourhood in recent memory.
00:48Here's what Paula Deen told us.
00:51I'm pretty surprised, especially now that I see all the journalists and police cars around the place.
00:57Usually police cars we hear them driving past, but not stopping in the area.
01:03So it's that kind of nice area, you know.
01:06Now we've heard from police that we'll have more details from a press conference later this morning,
01:12but at this stage forensic crews remain on scene here and no doubt will throughout the day.
01:17We're just nearby a school as well where this incident has happened,
01:21so no doubt troubling information this morning for the community to wake up to.
