A MAN has been shot by police at Capalaba after throwing an officer through a glass-plated window.
Police swarmed the Denison Crt home at around 7.25pm.
It is understood the man was shot twice by a female police officer after he charged at her partner when a Taser did not work.
The man was taken to Princess Alexandra hospital where he is in a serious condition.
Police sources said the man was shot twice in the stomach.
The male police officer who went through the glass-plated window had sustained severe lacerations. The officer is in a serious but stable condition after undergoing surgery.
It is understood the same unit complex was the scene of a similar police shooting 18 months ago.

As detectives and officers from the ethical standards section investigated, shocked neighbours told how they had heard two shots then a woman shouting "he's dead".
Nearby residents said the public housing complex where the home sits had been the scene of repeated disturbances.
"My wife and I were inside the house and we heard two pops," one neighbour said.
"We came outside and we heard someone screaming, a female, saying somebody had been shot then we heard someone say someone was dead, so we called police and basically everybody started rocking up.
"What we saw from people who came out was one male with a shirt and what appeared to be a police belt was staggering out being assisted by two police officers. He was out in the first ambulance.
"A significant amount of time later, I believe it was a man, he was carried out on a gurney and taken to a second ambulance. Then the ambulance left a significant amount of time later."
Police said in a statement: "A man has been taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital following a shooting incident at Capalaba this evening.
"Around 7.25pm, police were called to a Denison Crt residence in relation to a disturbance.
"A man was injured when an officer discharged his firearm and he is currently being treated at hospital. Ethical Standards Command have been advised and investigations are continuing."
