On the afternoon of Monday 29 May 2017, Senior Constable Brett Forte was performing duties as a member of the Darling Downs District Tactical Crime Squad, Toowoomba. He and his partner, were following a known dangerous, wanted, male offender along the Warrego Highway. During the pursuit the driver stopped suddenly, quickly exited his vehicle and began firing an automatic weapon at the police car. Senior Constable Forte immediately began reversing the police vehicle at speed while under heavy fire and was shot twice whilst attempting to protect Senior Constable Nielsen from the barrage of gunfire. He sadly died from his injuries. His quick thinking, immediate response and brave actions saved the life of Senior Constable Nielsen. Brett is survived by his wife Susie, and three children Emma Brodie and Sam. |
