A Queensland coroner has found that the three members of the Train family behind the 2022 Wieambilla shootings were not terrorists, but instead killed two police officers and a neighbour due to their shared “persecutory” delusions.

Officers Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold were killed by the trio of conspiracy theorists at the remote property about 270km west of Brisbane on 12 December 2022.
