At least two police feared dead in execution-style shooting in Wieambilla, Queensland

Sources told The Australian the officers had gone to a property in Wieambilla, 300km northwest of Brisbane, about 4.40pm to make inquiries about a missing person.

The police were walking up the driveway of the property when they were “ambushed” with gun fire by two men in the house, sources said.

A manhunt is underway for the alleged offenders,
who are believed to be heavily armed and to have taken police Glocks.

Police officers shot dead confirmed as male and female.

More on the shooting near Tara: https://bit.ly/3UJe7ZW

Two police officers are reportedly dead after they were gunned down in an ambush in Queensland on Monday afternoon.

Local media say four officers were attending a property in Wieambilla, in the Western Downs region west of Brisbane, to make enquiries regarding a missing person. But as they were walking up the driveway, they were reportedly ambushed by two men inside the house.

Sources told The Australian two officers fell to the ground before a gunman in camouflage clothing came out and carried out an "execution-style" shooting on the victims.

According to mygc.com.au, the third officer managed to withdraw and raise the alarm despite being shot in the leg.

"Despite sustaining serious injuries, he has escaped in one of the patrol cars," a police source told AAP.

The fourth officer fled into nearby bush - however the gunmen lit a fire to smoke her out, The Australian reported. She was believed to be unaccounted for before updates stated she had been saved by a police extraction team.

Queensland, Australia police shooting:
Cop killers taken out - three shot dead after two police officers,
civilian brutally executed

Three people have been shot dead in a gunfight by special operations police following a manhunt for suspects in the execution-style murders of two police officers and a neighbour in Queensland.

The horrifying siege has left a total of six people dead, as Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese spoke of “terrible scenes” and a “heartbreaking day”.

The dramatic shoot-out started after three people - including the two police officers in their 20s - were killed in a cold-blooded ambush at a man’s property in the western town of Darling Downs, about three hours west of Brisbane.
