Stunning photos have emerged of the bullet-riddled police car and Bearcat armored truck wrecked in the 90-minute shootout between a crack response squad and Doomsday set-ups.
Footage shows the two bullet-splattered vehicles from the Monday night shooting being towed from the crime scene two days after the violent encounter.
Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that former teacher Stacey Train “got engaged” with the police, along with her husband and brother-in-law, Gareth and Nathaniel Train.
The paranoid trio had amassed an arsenal of weapons, including rifles and a shotgun, and ambushed police when they arrived on the property with one who was wearing a ghillie suit.

Footage shows the two bullet-splattered vehicles from the Monday night shooting being towed from the crime scene two days after the violent encounter.
The paranoid brothers had amassed an arsenal of weapons, including rifles and a shotgun, and ambushed police when they arrived on the property with one wearing a ghillie suit.
Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that former teacher Stacey Train “got engaged” with the police, along with her husband and brother-in-law, Gareth and Nathaniel Train.
The fatal encounter began on Monday afternoon when Tara Police Station officers Rachel McCrow, 29, and Matthew Arnold, 26, attended the property on Wains Road, Wieambilla.
They were accompanied by Chinchilla officers, Officer Keeley Brough and Officer Randall Kirk, both 28 years old.
They were there to check on Nathaniel Train, who had been reported missing after abruptly leaving his job as a teacher and his wife and home in New South Wales.
Chronology of the events in the Wiembilla shooting that left two police officers, three assailants and a neighbor dead
Constables Rachel McCrow, 29 (left) and Matthew Arnold, 26, (right) were shot dead as they entered Gareth Train’s property in Wieambilla, rural Queensland.
The scene of the 90-minute shooting that left vehicles and the house riddled with bullets
When people inside the property refused to exit the front of the 43ha property to allow officers to verify the presence of Nathaniel Train, officers McCrow and Arnold jumped over the fence.
They were shot from inside the house; McCrow was hit in the leg and Arnold was also hit.
Kirk, who was still behind the perimeter fence, received a gunshot wound to the leg, but managed to get out in his police car to call for help.
One of the Train brothers emerged from the frame house and moved up the driveway, shooting the wounded McCrow and Arnold at point-blank range with a shotgun.
The rural town of Wieambilla is about 305 km west of Brisbane, in the Darling Downs region.
Police were at the farm to check for Nathaniel Train, who had been reported missing after abruptly leaving his job as a teacher and his wife and home in New South Wales.
The shooter then took the Glock pistols from the bodies of the two officers and re-entered the house.
Brough managed to escape and hide in the surrounding bush, but the Trains set fire to the grass trying to drive her out as she desperately retreated towards Robbos Road at the rear of the Trains’ property.
Brough called 000 and texted her family, but she managed to escape and was rescued by police reinforcements who had arrived on the scene.
As a large team of officers from the Queensland Emergency Response Task Force assembled to apprehend the assailants, police say “a substantial shootout” ensued.

Alan Dare (pictured) is being remembered as a ‘hero’ after he was killed in rural Queensland.
Nathaniel, Gareth, and Stacey Train were already armed with the shotgun, two other firearms, and the two Glocks stolen from McCrow and Arnold’s bodies.
The Trains fired at the SERT vehicle, which ended up perforated with bullets that could not penetrate the armor.
Stacey Train ‘engaged’ with police during the shooting, but it is not known if she was wearing camouflage clothing like her husband and brother-in-law.
During the shooting, which left hundreds of casings in the driveway of the property and in front of the house, a vehicle caught fire.
In police body camera video of the shooting, officers can be heard identifying the men from the train as PO1 and PO2 under the car or near the house as the exchange of fire continued.
Members of the local community take part in a vigil at the Calamvale Police Station in south Brisbane, Queensland on Tuesday, December 13, 2022.
Heartbroken locals paid tribute to fallen officers outside Tara Police Station
Community members are recovering from the shocking tragedy and laid flowers in front of the Tara police station.
Neighbor Alan Dare, alarmed by the sound of gunshots and the sound of the vehicle exploding, drove to the front of the train house and was shot in the back as he was getting out of his car.
Mr. Dare fell into the driveway and died of his injuries as shooting continued.
Distraught police officers believe the trains deliberately ambushed the police, even though they were not adequately armed for the fight, forcing them to steal the guns of the slain officers.
The three also did not have “an escape plan”, leading police to believe they may have intended to be killed during the shootout.
