Six people, including two police officers and a bystander, killed in Queensland siege

It is the worst incident to rock Queensland Police in recent history, sending shockwaves right across the country.

Six people are dead, including two police officers and an innocent bystander, following a siege situation at a property in regional Queensland.

The two young police officers killed have now been identified as Constables Mathew Arnold and Rachel McCrow.

The individuals were gunned down while attending a missing-person inquiry at a rural property.

In total, six people lost their lives, three of whom are the alleged attackers.

It all began when the officers attended the home in response to a missing-person inquiry.

They were ambushed by at least two shooters in what authorities have labeled an execution-style attack.

The officers were initially shot and wounded as they walked up the driveway at around 4.00am AEST.

They were then ­approached by the gunmen, who were clad in military-style camouflage, and shot where they lay.

Shortly after, Special Operations police arrived on the scene, shooting dead the three alleged offenders in a gunfight.

Queensland’s Police Commissioner, Katarina Carroll, said the incident will be felt right across the state.

“It is with deep sadness that I confirm the deaths of three people including two officers during an incident in the Western Downs late this afternoon,” Carroll said.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has also offered his condolences to the victims and everyone impacted by the incident.

“Terrible scenes in Wieambilla and a heartbreaking day for the families and friends of the Queensland Police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.”

Queensland’s Police Union President, Ian Leavers, said this was a ruthless, calculated and targeted execution.

“Our thoughts are also with police who bravely contained and managed the subsequent operation that has now resulted in the deaths of all the offenders,” Leavers said.

Now investigations continue as police try to piece together exactly what happened and why these officers were attacked.

In Short:
An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, while flying to London, injuring many passengers. This incident poses significant issues for Boeing, which is already dealing with safety concerns, and has prompted condolences from both Indian and U.K. leaders.

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner, operated by Air India, crashed in Ahmedabad, India, on June 12, 2025, while en route to London’s Gatwick Airport.

The aircraft departed at 1:38 p.m. local time with 230 passengers, including 169 Indians, 53 British, one Canadian, and seven Portuguese nationals.

Air India confirmed that injured passengers are being taken to nearby hospitals.

The 787 Dreamliner had operated for 14 years without a fatal incident before this crash.

Boeing response

Boeing expressed awareness of the situation and is gathering more information, although shares dropped drastically following the news.

This incident presents a significant challenge for Boeing, which has faced safety and production issues recently.

Local media reported smoke emanating from the crash site, and emergency responders were seen transporting individuals on stretchers.

The plane lost location data at 625 feet altitude and descending at 475 feet per minute before the crash.

The incident occurred in a residential area, prompting condolences from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who stated his government will assist local authorities.

Air India, recently acquired by Tata Sons, has been navigating difficulties as the former state-run carrier.

The jet crash is part of a troubling year for aviation, following other serious incidents, including a 2018-2019 Boeing 737 MAX crash that resulted in over 300 fatalities.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed concern for affected families as the situation unfolds.
