One dead, two stabbed in Endeavour Hills (Melbourne)



An 18-year-old man has been shot dead by counter-terrorism police and two policemen have been stabbed in Melbourne's outer south-east.

Police said the two officers met the 18-year-old outside the Endeavour Hills police station before he lashed out at the officers with a sharp instrument. He then ran towards the police station and was shot.

Onlookers at the scene — who did not want to be named — said the dead man had been shouting insults at Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the Australian government in general in the moments before he was shot.


The two stabbed officers, one from Victoria Police and one from the Australian Federal Police, were working together as part of a joint operation on counter-terrorism between the AFP and Victoria Police. The operation is believed to have been running for the past two to three years.

Police say the man was involved in an ongoing investigation, but AFP Commander Bruce --- would not confirm whether the 18-year-old's passport was among those that had been suspended, as had been reported.

However, he said, reports the man had been displaying Islamic State flags in the lead-up to police contacting him appeared to be correct.

Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius said the man had been asked to come to the police station to discuss behaviour "which had been causing some concern". When the man pulled up at the station he stabbed the two officers as they went to greet him.

"I want to make it very clear that the individual concerned who has died tonight was invited and did come of his own free will to the police station," he said.

"Our members had no inkling this individual posed a threat to them and as far as we were concerned it was going to be an amicable discussion about that individual's behaviour.

"It is also clear to us that individual has without any warning, produced a knife and assailed them with a knife.

"It's absolutely clear to us our members had no choice but to act in the way that they did."


Police sources said it was the Victorian officer who shot the man.

The federal officer was taken to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition with life-threatening injuries, but he is now in a stable condition, police said.

The Victorian officer was taken to nearby Dandenong Hospital in a less serious condition suffering stab wounds to the arms.
Where the shooting occurred.


A bomb-disposal unit was called to the scene and inspected the car and the police station.

Mr Giles said while the man did not make a bomb threat against police, the bomb squad was called to inspect his car for explosive devices.

"Whenever we deal with individuals who have clearly aimed to cause harm to police we go to exceptional lengths to ensure that the crime scene is safe" he said.

Mr Giles said the man had been acting alone and did not appear to be working with others.

Police set up a crime scene around the perimeter of the nearby Endeavour Hills shopping centre.

Homicide squad detectives are investigating the incident for the coroner, and Professional Standards Command members are overseeing the investigation.

A crowd of about 50 onlookers had gathered about 10pm. A heavy police presence was at the scene, with about a dozen officers directing onlookers to leave.

Premier Denis Napthine was briefed by the Chief Commissioner of Police, Ken Lay, on events.

Shafi Miya, who works at the petrol station opposite the Endeavour Hills police station, said he heard a shot fired sometime between 7.30pm and 8pm.

He said police had taped off the police station and Heatherton Rd was closed in both directions.

Ambulance Victoria confirmed that paramedics attended the scene but would not provide further details.

Its also reported his Passport had already been cancelled prior to him complying with a request he attend the Police Station for chat.

Melbourne terror shooting: Numan Haider 'planned to behead Victoria Police officers, drape bodies in IS flag'
pretty informitive video on this site:




Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said the man attacked a police officer who tried to shake his hand.

"When our police members have approached this young man, one's extended his hand to shake his hand and the response has been he's been stabbed in the arm," he said.

"The attacker's then turned on the second police member and stabbed him three or four times in the body and in the head.

"The first wounded member has then shot and killed the young man."




The teenager shot dead after stabbing two police officers outside a Melbourne police station was once associated with the radical Islamic group called Al-Furqan.

Police have named the attacker as 18-year-old Abdul Numan Haider, an Australian citizen from Narre Warren in Melbourne's south-east. His family had come to Australia from Afghanistan.




Praise for police as terror tensions rise

Mr Haider had been asked to attend the station to answer questions about his recent behaviour, such as making comments in support of terrorism, although police later agreed he had made no "specific" threats.




that case is done and dusted
