Queensland Constable Randall Kirk tells an inquest into the Wieambilla shootings he was told to look after himself before asking if he should run.
A police officer says he had no other choice but to run to escape three shooters who killed two of his colleagues in Queensland's Western Downs in 2022.
The court heard Constable Kirk fled to a nearby tree, before calling his colleague at the Chinchilla Police Station, Sergeant Justin Drier."He's got a rifle, he's coming over, f***!""F***, I think he just killed her. I'm trying, the comms aren't working."At this time, Constable McCrow, who was injured, was giving a situational report to her body worn camera.But there was no reception. He tried again, but the connection failed.
Ethical Standards Command Detective Inspector Suzanne Newton was asked why a flag did not come up on the system, despite Queensland Police having known that Nathaniel crossed the Queensland — New South Wales border illegally, while carrying weapons. Det. Insp. Newton said if he was successful in obtaining an AVO and alleged he had illegal firearms, it would have created a flag in the system.Katherine Beilby was working at the Toowoomba police communications centre when she received a triple-0 call from Constable Brough, who when the first shots rang out, retreated into nearby bushland.
"Initially she reported the flames as being 15 metres away from her. Then as time passed, she reported they were eight metres away, then five metres, three metres, two metres and one," Ms O'Gorman said.
