Yep.....how did a convicted criminal get his hands on a fully automatic rifle.......this is the problem with current gun laws......that a convicted criminal, with a long criminal history can get a fully automatic rifle and murder a police officer......why can't they ban guns like this........to keep people safe...
Oh...that's right....Australia did ban guns like this back in 1996......for normal, law abiding people...but as we just learned this week....criminals still get fully automatic rifles........
Australia is a big island......and they still get illegal guns...and they banned them.....
‘Psycho’ gunman may have set trap
Multiple people confirmed Maddison phoned police on Monday morning, with one person saying the call was made from a public phone box directly to the Tactical Crime Squad office.
Snr Constable Forte was a Tactical Crime Squad officer.
Later that day police spotted Madison in a vehicle in Mary St, Toowoomba, and followed him up to 40km before he pulled over on Wallers Rd near Gatton.
Maddison got out of his vehicle and opened fire on police with an automatic weapon, killing Snr Constable Forte.
-------
Maddison, 40, was last year facing a raft of charges including eight counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, assault occasioning bodily harm while armed, two counts of deprivation of liberty, torture, common assault, unlawfully wounding another and threatening violence.

It has been reported that Senior Constable Forte was trying to save his partner’s life as their car was sprayed with Maddison’s machine gun fire.
