Six people have been killed, including two police officers and an innocent bystander, during an incident at a remote property in Queensland.
Police have shot dead three people after an ambush at a remote property in Queensland’s Western Downs in which two officers and a member of the public were killed, bringing the total number of fatalities to six.
Another two officers were wounded when at least two gunmen opened fire at the rural property at Wains Road in Wieambilla at 4.45pm. At 9.40pm , Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll confirmed the deaths of the two officers and the one bystander but released very little detail on the incident because the offenders had yet to be taken into custody at the time.
“It happened that quickly, I would say they were executed by these remorseless, ruthless killers,” he said. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Western Downs Mayor Paul McVeigh said the incident was a terrible tragedy.
