Two police officers and a bystander died last night after they were fired upon at a remote property in Brisbane.

Two officers and a member of the public – believed to be a neighbour, responding to a fire at the property – were fatally wounded in a volley of gunfire and another officer was wounded.

It is believed three or four police initially attended the property, acting on a New South Wales report of a missing person, when they were fired upon.

A manhunt for the offenders continued well into the night, as senior police and politicians conveyed the gravity of the situation to the public.

Special emergency response officers were searching for the offenders, who were believed to be heavily armed and possibly wearing camouflage.

Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese sends his condolences to all who are grieving and says Australia mourns with you as its a heartbreaking day for the families and friends of the Queensland Police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
