Seven cameraman carjacked by armed gunman
A Seven News Queensland cameraman was confronted by an armed gunman following a siege on the Sunshine Coast yesterday.
Veteran cameraman Peter Steer was flagged down by a man claiming to have shot his partner on the side of the road, who asked him to call police.
However, after officers took 30 minutes to respond the gunman had a change of heart and stole the Seven News car, after pointing his gun at Steer, before driving it to a nearby service station where he crashed it into a gas tank.
Steer managed to capture the whole incident on camera, including the moment the man ploughed the stolen car into the service station, courtesy of a dashboard mounted camera.
The matter is now before the courts.
Fact check. The incident occurred on the Sunshine Coast.
