A man has been shot ***** by police after he allegedly attacked an officer with a ****** during a confrontation overnight in Sydney’s southwest.

Emergency services were called to Bird Walton Ave at Middleton Grange about 11pm on Saturday after reports of a man with a ******.

Officers proceeded to use a Taser on the man and when that “proved ineffective” the man was shot by police.

Police conducted CPR at the scene until NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived and took over; but he could not be revived.

A critical incident has since been declared with the State ****** Command’s ********* Squad now investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The investigation will be subject to an independent review, with the officer allegedly attacked in the confrontation not “physically injured”.
