Three suspects have been shot dead after the killings of two police officers and a man, authorities say.
By Tiffanie TurnbullSix people, including two police officers, have been shot dead after a suspected ambush at a remote Australian property.
Constables Matthew Arnold, 26, and Rachel McCrow, 29, were shot dead as they approached. Another officer suffered a "bullet graze" and the fourth escaped the property, police said. "Those officers did not stand a chance. The fact that two got out alive is a miracle," she said after visiting the scene on Tuesday.
With investigations ongoing, Ms Carroll said she couldn't say if police were lured to the property, or comment on a possible motive. She said "many weapons" were used during the incident.
