Six were left dead during the hours-long siege, after officers attended the home in relation to a missing person
Six people died, including two police officers in their twenties, when a routine missing persons investigation turned into an hours-long siege at a remote Australian property, police said Tuesday.
Four officers arrived at a tree-lined property near the small town of Wieambilla late Monday afternoon.
“As soon as they entered the property, they were inundated with gunfire,” said Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers, “they never had a chance.”
