Two police officers were in a 'life or death situation' when they opened fire and killed a drunken, knife-wielding Australia Post worker, an inquest has been told.
Eyewitness Lynette Sartori told the Newcastle Local Court on Tuesday plain-clothes officers Jamie Taylor and Darren Hamilton had no choice but to shoot an agitated Stephen Hodge, 51.
For the first time CCTV footage revealed the horrifying moment Hodge stormed into the store.
