And late yesterday, authorities confirmed one has “life-threatening, critical injuries” following a “high-risk incident” in regional South Australia. Police say the officers were called to a house in Crystal Brook, about 200km north of Adelaide, yesterday morning on another matter when the resident of the house stabbed them. The attacker was shot dead at the scene and one of the officers was airlifted to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with stab wounds to his neck, arm and hands. The other officer is in a serious but stable condition after receiving wounds to his leg and arm. Mark Carroll, president of the state’s Police Association, said the attack was “a horrifying reminder of the levels of extreme violence frontline police officers face in the line of duty.” He said the union was providing support to the affected officers and their families.
