A tense standoff in Cairns ends with police shooting a 28-year-old armed with two knives—just hours after he was released from hospital following a Friday night emergency admission. The hospital insists it acted appropriately, while police and the union demand their role be scrutinized in the official investigation. A 50-year-old bystander was also accidentally hit in the crossfire. The man faces multiple charges, including armed intimidation, but his court date keeps getting pushed back as he recovers. Queensland Health is now reviewing how this individual interacted with the system, as the community demands clarity on how someone slips through safety nets after hospital discharge.
