Police have locked down several streets after an officer was shot while attending a property.
Police have declared an emergency as they engage with a man at the home at Yengarie on Queensland's Fraser Coast.
Officers had gone to the address on Friday evening for a welfare check and tried to engage the man when one of them was shot in the leg, police said.
The officer was taken to hospital in a stable condition, and police remain at the semi-rural property.
An exclusion zone is in place around surrounding streets and people are urged to avoid the area.
