Kitto described the incident as \u201ctragic\u201d and \u201ca shock\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously it\u2019s not something that we hope to turn up to work and be confronted with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point in time, our primary concern or our priority is looking after our officers that were involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
