A man shot by police in Newcastle during a warrant raid remains in a non-life-threatening coma, with charges and a police review ongoing.
A 36-year-old man, Brett Holden, remains in an induced coma at a Sydney hospital after being shot by police in Newcastle on March 3, 2026, during a raid to serve arrest warrants related to firearms, drugs, traffic, and domestic violence offenses.
Officers deployed Tasers, but after Holden allegedly threatened them with a knife, an officer fired a weapon, striking him in the shoulder.
His injuries are not life-threatening.
Holden, who faces multiple charges including illegal firearm possession and stalking, could not attend bail court on March 6 due to intubation; proceedings were adjourned.
A critical incident investigation is underway, led by Lake Macquarie Police District and reviewed by oversight bodies.
Police described the officers’ actions as “very heroic.”
