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.

A big surprise for music fans when they heard a new song featuring Drake and The Weeknd. But there’s a catch!
The viral song was created by artificial intelligence.
A new song that sounds like Drake and The Weeknd has gone viral, but it was created by artificial intelligence.
Now, there’s a crusade against AI music.
The song,“Heart on My Sleeve”was created by artificial intelligence and quickly racked up millions of views on TikTok, Spotify, and YouTube.
Record label, Universal Music Group (UMG) is not happy about the song that used AI-generated vocals to simulate pop music artists Drake Graham and The Weeknd.
UMG flexed their muscle and forced the song featuring some of its biggest artists to be removed from Spotify and TikTok.
According to reports, UMG is taking it a step further and sent letters to Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streamers requesting they block AI tools from training their models on the melodies and lyrics of UMG artists.

The 2024 Presidential GOP field continues to grow.
While everyone is hoping to persuade Republicans to favor them over former President Donald Trump–he continues to lead the pack.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis kicked off his 2024 presidential campaign with his first public appearance in Iowa.
He joins others including Senator Tim Scott and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
The field is expected to expand even more as reports suggest that both former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will enter the primary race soon.
However, everyone is hoping to persuade Republicans to favor them over former President Donald Trump who continues to enjoy very high poll numbers.
