Police have charged a man after an incident in which a police vehicle was damaged by a firearm in Goodna overnight.
Just before 8pm officers responded to reports of a weapon being fired on Parker Street when, it will be alleged, shots were fired at a police vehicle, damaging a door.
Officers withdrew and established a cordon around the area as additional officers attended the scene.
At 9:10pm a man armed with a rifle surrendered to specialist officers and was taken into custody without incident.
No officers or members of the public were physically injured as a result of the incident.
A 59-year-old Newton is expected to be charged with two counts of acts intended to maim or disfigure and one count each of dangerous conduct with a weapon, unlawful possession of a Category B weapon (rifle) and wilful damage of police property.
He is expected to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on May 13.
