A senior NSW police officer is facing serious charges after allegedly firing his service weapon at a home in a shocking off-duty incident.
The 54-year-old senior constable, based in the Northern Region, was slapped with multiple charges including unauthorised use of a police-issued pistol, domestic violence-related assault, and intimidation.
Police say the officer discharged his service firearm at a residential property while off-duty — an explosive allegation that has rocked the force.
He’s been ordered to face court in Port Macquarie on September 17.
The officer remains on restricted duties, but his future in the force is now hanging in the balance.
