The man was wanted over an alleged hit-and-run on Friday night at Mitchell Park where a police officer was struck after trying to stop a vehicle, the ABC reports.
When police arrived at the motel on Saturday, they discovered an armed man in one of the rooms.
"A short time after that they heard what they believed to be two gun shots," Assistant Commissioner Noel Bamford told reporters.
Police say they opened fire on the man when he pointed a gun at them, Channel Seven reports.
