Four police officers had no interaction with the residents of a rural Queensland property before they opened fire and killed two constables, a coroner has heard. 7NEWS
Counsel assisting the inquest, Ruth O’Gorman KC, told the conference the deaths of Constables Matthew Joseph Arnold, 26, and Rachel Clare McCrow, 29, and neighbour Alan Dare, 58, “shocked the Queensland community” and had caused great distress and grief.Constables Arnold and McCrow were wounded and then fatally shot at close range within 10 minutes of entering the property for a welfare check on a missing person.
Gorman said the body-worn camera footage from the two officers had “no interaction” with any residents at the property before one or more of the Trains opened fire. Public hearings into the deaths and possible ways to prevent a similar incident in the future will not start until 2024 because the coroner must wait for a “complex” investigation to finish.
O’Gorman said the investigation had involved “significant resources ... breadth and complexity” and, along with a report to the coroner, it would not likely be finished until the end of the year.
