Queensland shooting: Injured police officer speaks from hospital after two executed

Constables Randall Kirk and Keely Brough, both 28, survived the "hail of bullets" fired by former school principal Nathaniel Train, 47, his brother Gareth, 46, and sister-in-law Stacey, 45, at their property in Wieambilla, Queensland.
