Queensland’s police commissioner, Katarina Carroll, has said two officers killed in a shooting in Wieambilla on Monday night “did not stand a chance” and it was a miracle that two others managed to survive the ambush.
Constables Matthew Arnold, 26, and Rachel McCrow, 29, arrived at the property seeking information about missing man Nathaniel Train when confronted by a “hail of gunshots”, with another officer suffering a bullet graze and a fourth surviving by hiding in long grass. A neighbour was also gunned down.
