Police have shot and killed a man outside the Westin Hotel on Mary Street in central Brisbane.
Two other people are believed to have been wounded in the incident and were being treated by paramedics at the scene.
Witnesses reported seeing two officers draw their guns on a man seen opening the door of his vehicle outside the Westin Hotel shortly before shots rang out.
Witnesses said he was armed with a knife and had been threatening people.
The hotel was locked down under police instructions and guests were told not to leave their rooms.
Any news? We are in the hotel and told not to leave room.
