Commissioner Katarina Carroll said the incident was devastating for the victims’ families and the wider police force.
“Tragically, this is the largest loss of life the QPS has suffered in one single incident in recent times.“It is a sad reminder of the unpredictable nature of policing and the incredible dangers our officers face while protecting our community.” McManus says he knows all too well the horrors police officers are exposed to each day, after he was previously shot 14 times.
“I was speaking with the male officer’s father last night, he was just in absolute despair and is searching for answers, but he will never get that, he has lost his son,” he said.“Her life has been cut short and our thoughts are with her family,” he said.
