Allegations are that the policemen were injured in a two-hour stand-off between lawmen and a gunman who was inside the singer's house. It is alleged that the lawmen went to the singer's house, acting on information, and attempted to conduct a raid when they were greeted with heavy gunfire. A shoot-out lasting almost two hours ensued.

The lawmen were shot and injured and the gunman killed. He was later identified as Andrew 'Conquerer' Senior, a man that had been wanted by the St Andrew North police. It is alleged that the deceased was wanted for between eight and 10 murders, the most recent being that of Gloria McLean, 65, in the Grants Pen area, several months ago. It is also believed that Senior had also slashed another woman's throat.
