Two men have been shot by police in separate incidents in the state’s south-east yesterday.

Police were called to an address at Stretton around 7pm on reports of an armed man.

“The 43-year-old man advanced at officers and was subsequently shot,” a police spokeswoman said.

He was rushed to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

The incident occurred just hours after police on the Gold Coast shot a man who allegedly lunged at them with a knife.

Negotiators were called to the Coomera address to speak with the man but officers allege he advanced at them before they arrived.

He was shot and transported to hospital in a serious condition.

The Ethical Standards Command is investigating both incidents.
