Police have launched an internal investigation into the circumstances leading to the driver of a stolen truck being shot dead by police in Redfern on Friday.



Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch told reporters a critical incident investigation had been launched and could not say how many shots were fired or how many officers were involved.

‘‘Policing is an inherently dangerous occupation and police confront those dangers everyday and make split second decisions, but ultimately the coroner will determine the events leading up to the discharge of the firearm and the events leading up to the man’s death,’’ he said.

‘‘The truck was stopped in the vicinity of Redfern police station, it ultimately came to rest in the street behind the station,’’ he said.
