This happened in Wieambilla Queensland in 2022. This story made international news. The policemen and women were executed. Similar story, police perform a welfare check, are shot on sight.
The assumed suspects from todays shooting are well known to the local community, for all the wrong reasons. Notorious 'sovereign citizens'. More information in the Reddit post below.
It's most unfortunate and sad when shootings happen esp where fatalities are involved.
However it all depends on how situations are handled. Sending unsuspecting police to do a welfare check - for instance when another state's police had already sensitised / inflamed someone who wanted to be left alone ... nutters need to be handled with care and / or special tactics used to subdue.
