A man has been shot dead in a hospital car park after allegedly aiming a gun at police.

Police found the man, believed to be in his 30s, in the hospital car park. During negotiations, the man allegedly pointed a gun at the officers who then shot at him. He was given first aid and taken inside the hospital but died a short time later. A critical incident was declared and the incident would be independently reviewed.
