The incident unfolded on Friday night after shots were allegedly fired at police tracking an allegedly stolen car.
It sparked an hours-long standoff at a Bix Court, Crestmead address between Reuben-Milos and highly-trained Special Emergency Response Team officers.
He is alleged to have aimed his rifle at the SERT officers in a room of the property before he was shot and taken into custody.
Queensland Police Union president Shane Prior described the police-involved shooting as “one of the most dangerous situations and incidents Brisbane has experienced for some time” as he called for the responding officers to be given bravery citations.
“An active, armed offender whilst driving shooting at pedestrians, drivers and police,” he alleged at the time.
“It will be alleged that this offender later raised a firearm towards police after agreeing to surrender.
“Police attempted to intercept the offender’s vehicle and it will be alleged that shots were fired towards police and their vehicle, just narrowly missing.”
