Police shooting: The full story

Dean Harrison works at First Mobile Whangarei as a senior sales consultant.
Last Thursday, about 9am, Lee Jane Mettam went to the store looking for him.
Dean was not at work. Armed with an air rifle, Lee took a staff member hostage.
At 9.45am Lee was shot dead after she pointed the rifle at an armed policeman.
Dean and his wife Lynette were like family to Lee. They want people to know what happened, why she went to the store last Thursday.
Here, in their own words, is their story.
Dean and Lynette Harrison are keen to make public the actual events that led to this tragic event. Their son brought 28-year-old Lee home in 1999 as his partner.
"She had two dogs, Doc and Daisy, about whom she was crazy," Lynette said.
"She was a beautiful young woman with long clean straight hair, beautiful teeth and a Catholic faith. She didn't swear and never raised her voice.
"She had a passion for horses and, since our kids were very keen on horses, Lee just slipped in alongside the family and fitted beautifully. She always called me Ma. Her own mother was in the UK".
Four years later, the relationship fell apart. Lee had some sorting out to do.
A couple of years later she picked up her life with the support of the Harrison family and went farming. They kept loose touch and Lee and Lynette always exchanged phone calls on the birthday they shared.
About two years ago, when Lee became addicted to P (methamphetamine), there were terrific signs of change. Her hair was dreadlocked and she had ceased contact with the Harrisons. One of her dogs had died and the other had been shot.
Her boyfriend had committed suicide.
Dean visited her and pleaded with her to accept help with her addiction.
It was obvious something was terribly wrong.
Lee had slipped off the path and they lost contact again for about nine months.
Then she called and said she needed to get her life in order and had a farm job in Mangamuka but no money to make the move.
The Harrisons loaned her the money. Then the farm was sold. Lynette rang and asked Lee if she was going to be all right and she said yes, that she was going to work at a horse farm.
The job never eventuated and Lee moved back to Whangarei. When Lynette didn't hear from Lee on her birthday she thought it was strange.
The family had heard she was back on P.
She stayed occasionally with Sarah (the Harrisons' daughter) for a couple of nights but would drift away again.
When Lynette and Dean caught up with Lee they were horrified.
"I thought she must have cancer," Lynette said. "She swore, she was dressed carelessly, unlike the Lee I had known.
"She looked thin with hollowed cheeks, her teeth were rotten and her skin was pale.
"She looked ill. Later I understood that these were all symptoms of P addiction."
In the few days prior to her death, Lee decided to make Sarah responsible for funds supposedly owed to her by colleagues of Sarah's.
"We'd given her $100 to help her since she was connected with the family," Dean said, "but the next day she'd decided she wanted $800. It was extortion, complete with death threats".
"We had become targets, but I wanted to protect the family, so I gave it to her on the proviso that she leave us alone."
The next morning Sarah took her 3-year-old daughter to The Warehouse and was at an ATM when Lee walked past.
She came back and assaulted Sarah and her daughter in front of many witnesses.
Security called the police. Lee texted Lynette and, when Lynette asked what she was doing, Lee had said she'd done nothing, nothing at all, but that if the police were called Sarah would be found in the boot of a car.
Sarah drove to the police station and laid charges.
That night threatening texts came thick and fast from Lee to the Harrisons - along with another demand for money, this time $5000 - "pay up or you'll be dead".
Dean, concerned for his family's safety, decided not go to work at First Mobile the next morning, Thursday, October 23. He reasoned that if he wasn't in the shop, Lee was unlikely to go there to cause trouble.
He had become terrified of the frighteningly dangerous person Lee had become.
At 9.15am, Dean received a call from the shop saying that Lee was there with a gun and had taken two hostages.
Concerned for the safety of his fellow workers, he immediately went to First Mobile, but was detoured by the police. The rest, we know.
"This drug, P, has taken a person who was capable of feeling and loving and being a part of a family.
"We did not recognise the dangerous person Lee had become, so far removed was she from the 28-year-old lovely lady who had joined our family a few years earlier. Sooner or later we have to make a stand against P," Dean said.
"The terrible events of a few days ago highlight how we can all be victims of P. As an addict, Lee went to the ultimate length to satisfy her habit, and that included being willing to destroy us and other innocent people.
"We wish to say again many thanks for the many messages of support from all over the country."
