The Queensland police officers fatally shot while making a welfare call at a Western Downs property last week also had plans to arrest one of the gunmen.
Constables Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold, and neighbour Alan Dare, were ambushed and killed by Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train at the Wieambilla residence, three hours west of Brisbane, on December 12.
The Trains were all later shot dead in a gunfight with police reinforcements.
