 Further to the commissioner of my press conference this morning, there has been no change in the condition of Detective Senior Constable Darren Leiden at the Gold Coast Hospital. He is presently in the intensive care unit with his family and loved ones present in a dangerously ill condition. That will be monitored and all necessary support and assistance has been placed to him and his family. Behind me here, ladies and gentlemen, will be alleged that the scene of this incident last night and whereby the detectives were the first to respond to an armed robbery in progress at this licensed premises. Inquiries have been conducted and earlier this morning the commissioner and I announced that two persons of interest were assisting us with our inquiries. I can now add to that a third person is now assisting us with our inquiries in relation to this matter. At this point in time as a police commander for the area, I'm quite confident that we have every person involved in this incident in our custody assisting us with our inquiries at this stage. And there is certainly no fear for the community here in packed pines in relation to this matter to be alarmed that there are a large number of people at large with firearms in relation to it. In relation to the investigation it would be inappropriate for me to comment any further from the investigation point of view as these people are now in our custody assisting us with our inquiries. At this point in time there's nothing further to say except to say that the persons of interest that we do have are presently with the police assisting us with our inquiries. Is that a good condition I guess that the fact that this constable's medical condition hasn't altered dramatically over the last couple of hours that he has potentially stabilised? He's still in a critical condition and it's a matter of time as you well know. As we said he's received a gunshot wound and he is in a critical condition and the next short period of time will be vital. Those people that you have detained where were they arrested? Some people were located in the near vicinity by our first response police officers to this incident overnight and another person has been located as a result of further detective inquiries with the use of specialist units. Have they been arrested for true people? They're assisting us with their inquiries. They're in police custody at the moment. They have not been arrested. They have not been charged with anything at this stage. They're just assisting us with their inquiries at this point in time. The third person is that believed to be one of the thieves or was that the policeman? No, the three people assisting us with their inquiries in relation to the matter. All other officers that were here are presently being interviewed back at the camera police headquarters in relation to the incident and the third person is not a police officer. Is that a good weight off the shoulders I guess of some of these officers here knowing that potentially you have the three people involved? At this point in time it's very, very pleasing that the investigation has located persons of interest but it's a very, very sad, tragic and very serious day for all members of the Queensland policing service and all members of the police in relation to police officers responding to a armed robbery in progress and one officer is now fighting for his life. So you're not looking for a large number of people but are you looking for others in connection with this? No. Do you know this young constable prior to this and do you know is he a pretty determined sort of character? Yes, he's a seasoned detective of stature here in the Gold Coast policing environment as you all know is a rather busy environment for policing and to make the further tragedy his wife is also a police officer. Do you think this will finally get to the armed robbery spot on the Gold Coast that police are going to be calling for the past couple of months? I've got no comment in relation to that at this stage. The manhunt for this third person or for the other people involved in this is fairly intense. I mean you've got a huge amount of resources into that. That's correct. What sort of resources have you been into? Everyone has turned on to that job there. Italy and from Brisbane. That's correct. As any matter of this magnitude or any member of the public or whether a police officer or anyone else is seriously injured in a matter of this as you know this area on the south eastern police region has more major incidents. The entire rest of the state of Queensland in a 24 hour period of serious nature as you'll be all well aware of and we do this unfortunately on a quite regular basis. Constable Leading's partner obviously been able to be interviewed now. Has it become clearer just how important her role was in keeping him alive before or immediately after this incident? Yes, some police officers have in their normal course been very valuable in that regard. So you've got any more information as to how many shots were fired? Did the police fire their weapons? Was there a shoot out or just one shot to the head? At this point in time I'm not prepared to comment in relation to those operational matters. As I said, there's people assisting us with our enquiries and it'd be highly inappropriate of me at this point in time while the investigation is still in its early stages to prophesise one way or another what has taken place until our forensics examination and all their witnesses have been totally interviewed and in due course the matter will be other before a court. That's what we're waiting to see. Thanks very much everyone, I appreciate that. I'll have another press conference later in the day but there won't be any further operational ones in relation to at this point in time but at this point we'll later in the day from a welfare update for you. Thanks very much. Let's check one just before we start that quick update on him and his partner and how he's going and how the force is feeling about it. It's very very tragic when anyone is seriously injured from a weapons wound in relation to a crime being committed in society. It's very very serious but when it's a police officer responding as a first response offer to an incident of this nature whilst it's underway it is even very serious for the police officers and that's their duty. We have to respond to matters like this and unfortunately in this particular night this very brave officer and the rest of the officers and he's currently fighting for his life. The police service is like we always are. We're in mourning but we also have to be here in a very professional way to conduct a very independent investigation in relation to this matter which you can assure you is currently underway. Thank you for that.
