Queensland Police will investigate the motives behind three individuals who ambushed, shot, and killed two officers investigating a routine missing person report on Dec. 12.

Six individuals in total were killed in the incident that Commissioner Katarina Carroll has called “the largest loss of police life” the state force has suffered in years.
