Passengers told to brace as QLink Dash 8 makes emergency landing

From Australian Aviation:A QantasLink Dash 8 carrying 64 passengers conducted a priority landing at Brisbane Airport on Thursday after reporting a malfunction within its landing gear.

The problem was later determined to be caused by a “faulty sensor” that reportedly told the pilots in the cockpit that there was a potential issue with the landing gear.

Flight QF2420 was travelling from Newcastle to Brisbane early on Thursday when the problem occurred.

The crew safely landed the aircraft on Runway 2 at 9:21am, nearly an hour later than planned after circling over Brisbane’s Moreton Bay.

Images show that the plane’s landing gear did successfully deploy, meaning the issue pertained to the cockpit’s warning signal rather than the gear itself.

The aircraft was met by emergency services on the runway, and later towed back to the terminal.
If I heard the TV report correctly, it was stated that an engine was shut down on final. I'm just wondering why.
