Brisbane: Australian police are looking into the radical ideologies of three men who opened fire on two officers and a neighbor on a rural property and were shot dead by police hours later.

After a series of posts using the name Gareth Train, one of the killers identified after Monday's fatal shooting, were discovered on conspiracy theory forums, Queensland Police Commissioner Katrina Carroll said late Tuesday that investigators were looking into the killers as possible extremists. Will check the connections. The post has anti-vaccine beliefs as well as claims that other major shootings were part of fake or false-flag operations.

"There are no clear reasons for what happened, so it's very difficult for us to reason with it right now," Carroll told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. Will come back with the events of the next few days and weeks.

According to research and surveys, belief in conspiracy theories is widespread. Social media is a more likely source of information for believers than reliable news sources. Conspiracy theories often change and develop in response to actual events and social, economic, or technological advances.

Carroll said every motive for the killings is being investigated, whether it was an intentional attack on the officers.

"We'll look at some of these people's online content and see what they've been up to recently and historically, as well as who they've been interacting with," he said.

Four officers appeared on property in the Queensland state town of Wembilla to look into a missing persons report. Carroll claimed that it was a miracle that the two officers were able to escape and raise the alarm after being driven into a hail of bullets.

Constables Matthew Arnold, 26, and Rachel Macraw, 29, as well as Alan Dare, a neighbour, were all killed.

Constable Randall Kirk, 28, one of the officers who managed to escape, was on Wednesday being treated for shrapnel wounds in a hospital. He claimed that his wife and he wanted to thank everyone "from the prime minister down" "for their messages of encouragement".

I'm just a little sore, but otherwise fine. In a statement released by the police union, Kirk said, "My primary thoughts are with other police families during this terrible time. Knowing that the community is concerned about all of us means a lot."

Journalists in Sydney were earlier told by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese that the country was mourning with those affected.

His words were, "Indeed, it is a devastating day for all who love these Australians, and our hearts are in pangs of terrible grief." We know the close and supportive Queensland community has been deeply affected by this news. Of course, there is also a community that all police officers are a part of.

He claimed that officials across the country perform their duties despite being aware of the risks.

And today, as well as every day, I honor every police officer who protects their country and the communities in which they live, according to Albanese. "No one who wears the uniform should ever have to pay this price."
