The family of a man shot dead by police is furious the officer responsible won't face criminal charges. 9News

"I don't know how to live without my brother… my life is empty."

Thirty-eight-year-old Lee Tong was unarmed when he was shot three times in November 23 last year during a visit by police to his Beechboro home. He died almost instantly. When police arrived at the Yenisey Crescent home, Lee Tong was inside his bedroom and refusing to come out. They attempted to kick down the bedroom door, but were unsuccessful."What I will say is that he emerged from that room quite quickly," the Commissioner said.Claims that Tong's mother was being held hostage inside the room at the time of the shooting were also found to be incorrect.
