00:00So at 2.50 p.m. yesterday, police attended a location near Rugby Road at Rugby.
00:06That's the location of a township which is about 80 kilometres north of Yass.
00:11They'd received a phone call from members of the public that were concerned
00:15and they reported a car crash with a car into a tree and into a ditch.
00:21Police attended that location and confirmed there was a male still inside that motor vehicle.
00:25They approached that vehicle to check on his welfare and render assistance if required.
00:33As they approached that vehicle, they tried to speak and communicate with that person who did not respond.
00:40He then took possession of a firearm and pointed it directly at the police officer.
00:45At that point, I can confirm that police opened fire and he was struck with a number of rounds.
00:52I can confirm that that firearm was a loaded firearm.
00:57At that time, we established a crime scene immediately.
01:00At 4 p.m. yesterday, I declared a critical incident.
01:04So a critical incident is an independent investigation.
01:07And under these circumstances now, State Crime Command, more specifically the homicide,
01:13are taking on that independent investigation.
01:16This is a normal process.
01:19I can also confirm that Professional Standards Command, which we know as PSC,
01:24will also overview that investigation.
01:27I can also tell you that LEC, which is the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission,
01:32have also been notified and they will oversight that investigation also.
01:38I can confirm that the male person has not formally been identified yet,
01:43but we are confident he is a 45-year-old male.
01:48Looking at school, research is based on how to help.
01:50The new law AH管 cannot be identified.
01:50You too, I can go through it.
01:51We areeted to facilitate joined by the private ethics registry.
01:51There are Djord?
