You mentioned

before, physically, mentally and emotionally for what I could realistically expect to encounter.

I had that conversation with my wife five years prior to the shooting.

And I said, if I get shot and die, what's your life going to look like? I also need you to know if I get shot and I don't die, I may get a spinal injury.

I may spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair.

I need you to know I will make it the best I can.

I then went away from myself and I said, if I get shot and I don't die, what's my mind and my body going to want to do in that circumstance? How have I handled that sort of thing in the past? What would be an absolute perfect response to that? And this is where we all focus.

What do you want to say to people listening that might be going through a challenging situation or really wanting to live their best life?

Describe what happened.

So we did know it was going to be a high-risk situation.

This is the third job that I'd been involved with him because when the CIB were investigating him five years prior to this, and this is obviously 35 years ago, he actually said, any cop who comes near my place is going to get shot.

So we had a hint that he could be violent, but we had two jobs with him where he did absolutely nothing.

But that didn't mean we were complacent and that's why they asked Star Group to go and arrest him on this occasion because he'd failed to appear in court.

So we went to the front door of the house wearing full police blue uniform and flat vests.

We knocked on the door.

Can you talk us through what that's like? Have you been in that situation as well?
