The chase had spanned more than 20 minutes, but the suspect had barely broken the speed limit and was not driving dangerously. Seconds later, a police vehicle was riddled by automatic gunfire.
Wanted man Ricky Maddison stopped abruptly on Wallers Road â a dirt track near Gatton, west of Brisbane â and unleashed a hail of bullets on a police vehicle at close range, killing one officer inside.
The dashcam footage from the police four-wheel-drive carrying the late Senior Constable Brett Forte and his surviving on-duty partner Senior Constable Catherine Nielsen, has been released.
