6 dead after shootout against police in suburban Australia

On December13,2565, the Australian Federal Police reported a shooting that occurred in rural Australia, resulting in the deaths of6 people. Two of them were police officers who received a call about a disappearance and were called to a village in the eastern state of Queensland.

"As soon as the group of police officers entered the house, they were immediately shot without the possibility to respond, and two police officers were killed in a bloody manner," said Queensland Police Union President Ian Levers. The deceased police officers were26-year-old Rachel McCrohon and29-year-old Matthew Arnold, who started their careers as police officers just two years ago."

"Both officers sacrificed their lives to ensure the safety of our community," said Catherine Carroll, Queensland Police Commissioner, interrupting her tears as she spoke about the event, which she called a "horrific tragedy." The other two police officers who were together survived and were taken to the hospital with minor injuries after the shooting.

** More than12 police special forces were immediately dispatched to the scene after a prolonged blockade. At22:30 local time, the bodies of two suspected men and one suspected woman were found.

The police have already begun investigating this incident to determine the reasons behind this mass killing attack. However, information about the identities of the deceased suspects, which is extremely rare in Australia, where some of the strictest gun laws are in place, has not been disclosed. This comes after the law restricting automatic and semi-automatic weapons was introduced following a mass shooting in Port Arthur, Tasmania in1996, where one person killed35 people.

The President of Australia Scott Morrison expressed his deep regret over this event and said that it was "a terrible day for the families and friends of the Queensland police officers who died in the line of duty." As a sign of mourning, the Queensland government ordered flags to be flown at half-mast on state buildings.
