Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train killed constables Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and neighbour Alan Dare at their rural Queensland property in December 2022.
The families of two officers shot dead in Queensland have called for immediate law changes around firearms and police communications on the first day of a coronial inquest into their deaths. Constables Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow were shot by Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train after four officers arrived at the Wieambilla property in the Western Downs Region on 12 December 2022.
Judy McCrow called for immediate changes to police policies and procedures to reduce the likelihood of the loss of life in similar circumstances. "We pose this question to authorities: could a national firearms and ammunition register, drones and satellite-based communication strategies reduce the current risk?" she said.
