Apparently he was making threats against the Prime Minister.
Hopefully both officers make a quick recovery.

A MAN has been shot dead and two police officers wounded after an incident during a joint agency investigation outside Endeavour Hills police station tonight.
A Victoria Police officer and Australian Federal Police agent are believed to have been stabbed by an occupant of a car they pulled over outside the police station in Melbourne’s southeast.
It is believed the Victoria Police officer drew his gun and shot the alleged attacker dead.
Both officers were taken to hospital and are believed to be in a stable condition.
Police have confirmed that one man has been shot dead.
The station has been blocked off by police tape, officers are surrounding the area and traffic has been diverted from Heatherton Rd in both directions.
Detectives are on scene to investigate.
A young boy who lives nearby said he heard a single shot coming from the police station at about 7.45pm.
It is not known what the joint taskforce was investigating or who the target was in the car.
Although it was initally believed the incident did not involve a Victoria Police officer, details emerging suggest they were involved in the joint investigation with the AFP.
It is therefore likely Victoria Police’s Professional Standards Command will investigate if one of the force’s members was involved in the fatal shooting.
An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman confirmed its paramedics attended the scene about 7.40pm but would not provide further details.
