RICHARD Tulloch was locked away in his Wandal home early this morning when he heard a terrifying “crack, crack, crack”.



He knew exactly what happened.



At about 8.30am, a 24-hour police siege ended in dramatic fashion when police were forced to shoot a man armed with a knife, when he charged at them.



Mr Tulloch had been in lockdown since police entered into a stand off yesterday morning with the man, just a few houses away. In this video he tells of his fear as the siege continued overnight.



He said he heard three distinct gun shots.



The man was immediately taken to hospital for treatment. It is believed the man went into surgery at Rockhampton Hospital early this afternoon.



At the scene, police Chief Superintendant Steve Gollschewski (see second video) told how the incident unfolded.



Senior police from the Ethical Standards Command are on their way to the scene to investigate the incident.
