Wieambilla shootings

Common card · No. 232742

The Wieambilla shootings occurred on 12 December 2022 with the killings of two Queensland Police constables, Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and civilian Alan Dare, at a rural property in Wieambilla, Queensland, Australia. The property's three residents, brothers Gareth and Nathaniel Train, and Gareth's wife, Stacey Train, were subsequently shot and killed by police following an hours-long standoff. The police described the shootings as a Christian fundamentalist terror attack, although a subsequent coronial inquest found that the attack did not meet the statutory definition of a terror act and attributed the Trains' actions to a shared psychosis rooted in their religious beliefs and persecutory delusions.
