Mass Shootings

This was a recent shooting in Canada of two police officers:

More details will probably come out, but I thought it odd that both officers hadn't even drawn their guns when they were shot and that there was a third officer there exchanging gunfire with the suspect -
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says the South Simcoe police officers died in hospital and the 22-year-old man died at the home after an exchange of gunfire Tuesday night in Innisfil, Ont.

In an email Thursday, SIU spokesperson Kristy Denette told CBC News that "based on preliminary information" the two officers who were killed had not drawn their guns when they were shot.
 

Drone's become the cartel's newest tool of destruction against its advisory's.

From a small plane, and with explosive drones, criminals attack police officers from Encarnación de Díaz. Practically all the corporations came to support the shooting that unleashed blockades. The balance is two alleged criminals dead.


Meaning more attacks are coming!

 
This is quite bizarre, to say the least. Multiple gunmen, and an ambush on a rural property miles from anywhere? Where did they get the weapons? Did they abduct someone from interstate? I suspect there's a lot more to be revealed about this.

Six dead after seige shootout in rural Queensland


Brisbane Times said:
Police have shot dead three people after an ambush at a remote property in Queensland’s Western Downs in which two officers and a member of the public were killed, bringing the total number of fatalities to six.

Just after 10.30pm on Monday, two men and one woman were fatally shot by police at the property on Wains Road in Wieambilla, about three hours west of Brisbane.

Earlier in the day, four police officers went to the rural property to investigate reports of a missing person, believed to be a former school principal from NSW, and were met with a hail of gunfire. Sources likened the scene to an ambush.

Police returned fire, but two officers were critically injured and died at the scene. A member of the public, believed to be a neighbour, who also responded to the gunfire was killed.

The officers who died were constables Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, both of Tara Station. The neighbour has yet to be named.

Another two officers were wounded when at least two gunmen opened fire at the property at 4.45pm. A female officer, in her first year and only a few weeks out of the police academy, managed to flee the scene and help raise the alarm.

Authorities said a siege situation then ensued at the property and specialist police officers and PolAir responded.

“Two males and a female were fatally shot during a confrontation with police shortly after 10.30pm,” police said in a statement early on Tuesday morning.

An emergency declaration remained in place on Tuesday morning for the Wieambilla area and a crime scene had been established at the property.

At 9.40pm (AEST) on Monday, Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll confirmed the deaths of the two officers and the one bystander but released very little detail on the incident because the offenders had yet to be taken into custody.

“Tragically, this is the largest loss of life we have suffered in one single incident in recent times,” Carroll said.

“Those officers paid the ultimate sacrifice to keep our community safe.

After an overnight police operation to remove the threat, Carroll revealed the names of the slain officers and said flags would fly at half mast across the state.

“My sincerest condolences go out to the family, friend and colleagues of Matthew and Rachel at this incredibly difficult time,” she said on Tuesday morning.

The missing school principal is believed to be Nathaniel Train, 46, whose brother Gavin and his wife Stacey had a property in the area. Police have yet to comment on whether they were the three others killed.

Circumstances surrounding the incident will be investigated by police and overviewed by the Ethical Standards Command on behalf of the coroner.

“I know the days and weeks ahead will be particularly difficult for families and the police family,” Carroll said.

Police Union president Ian Leavers said the shooting of the two junior police officers was an “execution”, adding it was a miracle the other officers were alive.

“It happened that quickly, I would say they were executed by these remorseless, ruthless killers,” he said.

“They showed no respect or any feelings for anyone at all. They murdered two of our colleagues and tried to murder many other police.”


Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described “terrible scenes in Wieambilla and a heartbreaking day for the families and friends of the Queensland police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty”.

“My condolences to all who are grieving tonight - Australia mourns with you,” Albanese wrote on Twitter.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Western Downs Mayor Paul McVeigh said the incident was a terrible tragedy.

Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, a former Queensland police officer, said it was “deeply distressing news” about “those police who have been murdered”.

Queensland Police Minister Mark Ryan used a late-night press conference to offer a prayer for all those involved.

Police declared an emergency situation about 6.15pm, attempting to contain the offenders in a cordon around large farming properties and gas fields.

Wains Road was closed, with the zone including the area between Chinchilla Tara Road, Wieambilla Road, Bennetts School Road, and Mary Street.

“Residents within the declared areas must remain indoors until further notice, and motorists and pedestrians are advised to avoid the area,” police said.

The sparsely populated area is home to several large properties and gas fields. It lies between the regional centre of Chinchilla, population 7068, and Tara to the south-west.

Reason police were at Wieambilla property before bloody ambush revealed​

A missing school principal was one of three suspects killed in a gunfight after two police officers were executed at a Queensland property.

Queensland Police officers were responding to an urgent SOS from their NSW counterparts when they were ambushed and executed in cold blood at a remote property yesterday.

On Monday afternoon, two young police officers were gunned down at a remote property in Wieambilla in Queensland’s western Darling Downs region, with a further two officers narrowly escaping with their lives.

A neighbour - since identified as Alan Dare - was also killed in the attack, while Special Operations police later shot dead three more people in a gunfight following a manhunt for multiple suspects.

The harrowing case has rocked the nation, with attention now turning to what led the officers to the property before the bloody ambush unfolded.

Queensland Police originally confirmed that the group of officers were carrying out “routine missing person inquiries” at the isolated property on Wains Rd, south of Chinchilla, at around 4.40pm yesterday.

It has since emerged that the officers were responding to a special request from NSW Police regarding a missing Dubbo man, The Daily Telegraph reports.

According to the publication, Queensland Police had been asked to help in the search for Nathaniel Train, whose brother was believed to live at the Wains Rd property.

It has since been revealed that Nathaniel and his brother Gareth Train were both killed in the ensuing gunfight.

Nathaniel Train was a former school principal at Yorkeys Knob State School, with a 2017 Cairns Post article about a school fundraiser describing him as a “mild-mannered school leader”.

NSW Police appealed on social media for information regarding Nathaniel Train’s disappearance on social media just four days earlier.

One person commented that he was their children’s principal at Yorkeys Knob State School in Queensland’s far north.

“Oh no! Hope he is okay, good bloke,” another responded.

“Yeah, he was,” another agreed.

Train worked at the school as recently as 2019, when it came in at number 25 in a ranking of Queensland’s best NAPLAN results for the year, recording the best primary school results in the Far North.

At the time, Train told the Cairns Post that “supportive parents, dedicated teachers and support staff” were key to the school’s success. [..]

Dubbo police are believed to have lodged the request for assistance with their Queensland colleagues, with insiders telling the Telegraph one of Train’s relatives was known to have an intense distrust of police.

Last week, NSW Police issued an appeal for public assistance to locate Nathaniel Train, 46, who was last seen in Dubbo on 16 December, 2021, however, he remained in contact with his family until Sunday October 9, 2022.

He was reported missing to officers from Central North Police District on Sunday, December 4 when he could not be contacted by family or friends
, with police and relatives holding “serious concerns for Nathaniel’s welfare”. [..]
 
Earlier reports claim that the member of the public that was killed was a neighbour who went to investigate what he thought was a car on fire. So it's unclear whether the neighbor or the police arrived first. Neighbors apparently also say that the property is usually not inhabited, but there has been activity there over the last week or so.

One unusual thing - I started reading reports on this story yesterday (Monday) and some of the reports were stating that events unfolded Monday or Monday afternoon. In an unfolding situation, wouldn't they just say today or this afternoon? It's almost like the stories were meant to be released Tuesday or something.

Apparently the initial shooting incident occurred at ~4:30pm AEST, and the raid by Special Operations that killed the suspects occurred at approximately 10:30pm. So the most plausible explanation is that the print media figured that most people wouldn't have started reading the stories until Tuesday morning and they just "forward dated". Interesting from a symbolic perspective though, especially when we consider the narrative that is beginning to form around this:

Daily Mail said:
  • Gareth Train, his brother Nathaniel and wife Stacey were shot dead on Monday
  • The trio had fatally shot two officers at their home in Wieambilla, Queensland
  • Four officers had arrived at the home on Monday afternoon at about 4.30
  • Constables Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold were killed by the trio
  • An innocent neighbour, Alan Dare, who'd ran over to investigate was also killed
  • Gareth shared a bizarre string of conspiracy theories online in recent months
  • He believed the Port Arthur massacre was an inside job
A conspiracy theorist shared a series of paranoid posts claiming Port Arthur was an inside job and Princess Diana's death was a 'blood sacrifice' before shooting dead two young cops and an innocent bystander.

Doomsday prepper Gareth Train, alongside his former school principal brother Nathaniel and ex-teacher wife Stacey
, shot dead Queensland police officers Rachel McCrow, 29, and Matthew Arnold, 26, as they walked up the driveway of his property on Monday about 4.30pm.

The three family members, dressed in camouflage and heavily armed, opened fire on the cops as they arrived at the Train family's Wieambilla homestead to investigate the disappearance of Nathaniel, who hadn't been heard from since October.

An innocent bystander and neighbour Alan Dare, 58, was also killed. Two other police managed to escape with their lives - one into bushes, and another from the property. A special ops squad later shot the Train family dead.

Posts obtained by Daily Mail Australia show Gareth Train was extremely active online in the comments sections of fringe news websites and regularly shared bizarre - and often deranged - theories about major world events.

In one online rant, Gareth wrote that the Australian government was responsible for the Port Arthur Massacre, where 35 people were killed in Tasmania in 1996.

'Anyone who watched the live media coverage at the time and was aware of the political deceit lead up knows that this was a Government Psychological Operation to disarm the Australian population,' he wrote in November 2020.

Just two months earlier Gareth had claimed 'chemical agents' had been dropped over Australia, covering large parts of NSW, Victoria and Queensland. 'We are now being poisoned and chemically manipulated on a massive scale,' he wrote.

Gareth also regularly shared his mistrust for the Queensland Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) - the same team that arrived at his home and shot him about 10.30pm local time last night.

'The state sponsored terrorising squaddies - SOG, SERT and other special people are but government paramilitary hammers,' he said in September last year. [..]

His brother Nathaniel is understood to have been living at Gareth and Stacey's home - which was off the grid, and which he appeared to be prepping for an imminent apocalypse, with extensive solar panels and water tanks. [..]


Nathaniel hadn't been seen since last December but was in contact with his family up until October. He was reported missing on December 4.

The former principal left Walgett in August last year after suffering a major heart attack.

He had to be revived by staff at the school with his mental health reportedly deteriorated significantly after he left.


Stacey Train was also an educator, and the head of curriculum at the Tara Shire State College.

She also ran to be the representative of the Western Downs branch of the Queensland teachers union.


Brisbane Times said:
The NSW man involved in a shootout that left six people dead in Queensland had been a principal at Walgett Community College Primary School in the state’s north-west until the middle of last year, and had once been held in high regard by teachers and elders for his efforts to improve the school.

Nathaniel Train left Walgett in August last year after suffering a massive heart attack at the school and being revived by staff, and people who knew him said his mental health deteriorated significantly after his departure. He had been missing since October.

After he left, Train became frustrated at the way the school was being run and its failure to implement his changes. He complained to the NSW Ombudsman, One Nation MP Mark Latham and local MPs.

His wife still works at the school, but did not know where he had gone. Before Train’s departure they were often seen together, walking their dog. Counsellors have been sent to Walgett to help the school community.

Queensland police were responding to a request from their NSW counterparts to check on Train at his brother’s property in the Darling Downs region, west of Brisbane, when they became involved in an apparent ambush that left two officers and a member of the public dead.

Special Operations police later shot dead three more people, including Train.

The primary and secondary schools in Walgett have been plagued by violence and high teacher turnover, but issues at the primary school were not as serious as those at the high school.

Train was a former principal of Yorkeys Knob State School in Cairns. He moved from Queensland to teach at the school in mid-2021, and was well respected by many Walgett locals, some of whom told this masthead they were shocked such a likeable man was involved in this horrific attack.


“He was for the kids,” said one teacher who worked with him. “He was about education and for the kids. I’m blown away that he’s done what he’s done. I found him quite personable. He knew what he wanted to achieve. Tidy things up, get it functioning properly.”
Another senior member of the community said elders had “total faith in him” as executive principal of the primary school. “He was wonderful. He was making some really important changes. We were supportive of him and trusted his intelligence. We hoped he would come back.”

However, after he left, Train became frustrated at the school’s failure to continue implementing his reforms. He complained to the NSW Ombudsman and sent frequent, furious emails – often many within short periods – to senior NSW Education Department chiefs.

In the course of two weeks in March, Train sent 16 emails to NSW Department of Education secretary Georgina Harrisson.

One person who saw some of the emails said they suggested fragile mental health. “They were quite out there,” the person said. “His mental health deteriorated post-Walgett.”


Train was also in touch with Latham, who has repeatedly raised concerns in parliament about the issues facing Walgett Community College. “He came to me with complaints about a lack of support from the Education Department and a lack of action,” Latham told this masthead.

His concerns centred on teaching standards and the performance of teachers’ aides at the school. “He left the school badly disappointed,” said Latham. “He said he was taking time out to recover from the experience [at the school] and the heart attack.”

Train’s frustration arose from his concern for the students, Latham said, who thought the tone and frequency of the emails reflected his frustration. “His heart was in the right place.”

Latham last heard from him five or six months ago, and then “he fell off the radar,” he said.

In a statement, the NSW Department of Education offered its condolences to the Queensland Police and the families and friends of those impacted by the tragic incident in rural Queensland overnight.

“One of the deceased was a former NSW Education employee who had not been working at a NSW school since August 2021. He officially left our employment in March this year.

“Extra counselling will be provided at the impacted school today and for as long as staff and students require support.”
It would be very interesting to know whom Gareth Train was in most frequent contact with online. Seems like the mental health of all three of the occupants at that property rapidly deteriorated throughout 2022.
 
Is he got vaccinated?
I haven't seen their vaccination status mentioned anywhere, however given the information so far regarding their personalities and professions, it's probably reasonable to assume that Gareth and Stacey Train weren't vaxxed, and Nathaniel probably was due to his position as a principal at a primary school in NSW during 2021.

News.com.au said:
Gareth Train – who was killed alongside his brother and partner after the brutal slayings of two police officers and a neighbour – has been exposed as an online conspiracy theorist who hated cops and believed the Port Arthur massacre was a “false flag operation”.

On Monday afternoon, Constable Rachel McCrow and Constable Matthew Arnold were gunned down while carrying out a routine missing person inquiry at 251 Wains Rd, Wieambilla in Queensland’s Darling Downs region.

An innocent neighbour, Alan Dare, was also executed in the attack, with Queensland police commissioner Katarina Carroll confirming “a lot of ammunition and weaponry” had been found at the address.

Police have since confirmed that Gareth and Nathaniel Train were killed in a subsequent gunfight with Special Operations officers, as well as a third female suspect, believed to be Gareth Train's wife Stacey.

According to property records, Stacey Jane Train and Gareth Daniel Train purchased the isolated, sprawling 43.51Ha property in February 2015 for $95,000.

It has since emerged that Gareth Train was a noted conspiracy theorist who regularly posted about his extreme views online.

An associate told The Guardian his descent into the world of conspiracy theories had been relatively recent, with Mr Train claiming the 1996 Port Arthur massacre was a false flag operation to “disarm the Australian population”, and repeatedly claimed the government was running “re-education camps”.

“Re-education camps are located at the end of the line. Monitoring the rail system will ensure no escape. Dissenters will find themselves catching the long black train,” he bizarrely posted under a 2021 article about QLD Rail’s surveillance capabilities, adding “beware of the boogie monster”.

He also voiced about his dislike for authorities, including the Queensland Special Emergency Response Team, and appeared to support the doomsday prepper movement.

In a disturbing post on Citizens Initiated Referendums, Train provided a chilling clue about the horror to come, writing about citizen’s rights and his hatred of authorities. [..]

Police had arrived at the Queensland property on Monday afternoon amid concerns for Nathaniel Train’s welfare.

He was last seen in Dubbo in NSW on December 16, 2021, however, he had remained in contact with his family until Sunday October 9, 2022.

Nathaniel Train was a former school principal who officially left the NSW department of education’s employment in March this year, although he hadn’t worked at a school in the state since August 2021.

Before that time, he worked as a principal at a string of schools, including Yorkeys Knob State School, Walgett Community College Primary School and Innisfail East State School.

Meanwhile, Stacey Jane Train was listed as the Head of Curriculum at nearby Tara Shire State College as recently as 2019, and was also the representative of the Western Downs branch of the Queensland teachers union.

From The Guardian:

The Guardian said:
[..] A person who knew Gareth and his wife said they believed he had been sucked into online conspiracy theories in recent years.

He appears to have been a prolific poster on an alternative website that posts conspiracy, anti-authoritarian and other articles. He said in one recent post he had been “ark homesteading for the past five years preparing to survive tomorrow”.

“When it becomes clear that we are in a time like no other and you head out into the wilderness to escape persecution, know that my wife and I will offer refuge to all brothers and sisters,” he posted.

“I will be scanning the UHF channels when that times comes.”

Gareth said the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 – Australia’s deadliest mass shooting – had been a “false flag” operation to “disarm the Australian population”. [..]

Carroll would not say on Monday whether she believed the police officers had been “lured” to the Wieambilla property on Monday. She said that when the officers arrived, they were ambushed.

“Walking towards the house and where this apparently took place, they were in an exposed area where I would go back to say that I cannot believe that two officers got out alive,” Carroll said.

“We did go there as a result of a report of a missing person. Police always do thorough checks before they go into these environments.

The Queensland police union has described the shooting as “a ruthless, calculated and targeted execution of our colleagues”.
Presumably, if the police did thorough checks, then that would suggest that they weren't expecting a hostile response of any sort, which is consistent with them being taken by surprise. So how did a few reclusive preppers become so radicalised as to be willing to open fire on several young, relatively approachable-looking police officers without stopping to question why they were there, especially given their social and professional backgrounds in education?
 
I haven't seen their vaccination status mentioned anywhere, however given the information so far regarding their personalities and professions, it's probably reasonable to assume that Gareth and Stacey Train weren't vaxxed, and Nathaniel probably was due to his position as a principal at a primary school in NSW during 2021.
I too thought he was not vaccinated. May be he is for the following speculations, though Vaccine is NOT the only control mechanism exist.
  • He is School principal, so he may be the first person to take it by his mentality of improving the schools.
  • If he has taken vaccine, they won't publish it, because all "conspiracy followers" point out, criminality is because of Vaccine.
  • If he has not taken vaccine, We would have seen the articles to label "Anti-vaxxers" are susceptible to be unstable and criminal.
 
Apparently a man shot several peoples in two locations: an hair saloon and a Kurdish cultural center. So far 3 people are dead. The official motive is racism. The video is in French but you can activate the auto translate function:

 
This one seems very different to the other major mass shootings in France, i.e. it appears to be a genuine shooting carried out by an ordinary person for personal reasons, complete with low fatality count.
