on the Western Downs on December 12.
The three suspects in the shooting, Gareth Daniel Train, 47; Nathaniel Charles Train, 46; and Stacey Jane Train, 45, lit fires in an attempt to flush out a female officer who escaped being shot after taking cover. Dare was recording a video on his phone when he was shot that also showed no interaction with the Trains before he was killed.Two police officers were among six dead following the shooting at Wieambilla in Queensland late last year.
Relatives of McCrow and Dare watched the conference via video link, as did Aiden Train, the son of Nathaniel and Stacey Train. The inquest will include looking into the online activities of the Trains and "identify possible associates who may have influenced them in their actions".Nathaniel Train, his brother Gareth and sister-in-law Stacey shot dead two police officers and an innocent neighbour at a property in Wieambilla.
"Why was it that fired shots at police that day? What influenced them? Were there any red flags known to authorities or should have been known by authorities prior to 12 December?" O'Gorman said.
