Test cricket spectators were on their feet cheering on police who were at the stadium.
Silence fell across the stadium as everyone paused to remember Constable Rachel McCrow, Constable Matthew Arnold and Good Samaritan neighbour Alan Dare, who were ambushed and executed by Gareth, Stacey and Nathaniel Train on Monday.
The tribute was one of several to take place across the state this week.
McCrow and Arnold’s emergency services colleagues were showered with gratitude and surrounded in a guard of honour at a candlelight vigil in Chinchilla on Friday night, which was attended by shooting survivor Constable Keely Brough.
Assistant Commissioner Charysse Pond read a letter from some of those whose entire world has been shattered by the incident – Arnold’s family.
“To hear peoples stories about Matt at work and the affection your community had for Matt is heartwarming,” the statement said.
Vigil organiser Lance Payne told Today “it was the most uplifting thing the community needed”.
“To see the strength she had to turn up to an event like that was incredible,” Payne said.
Constable Randall Kirk, 28, and Constable Brough, managed to escape with their lives despite the sustained gunfire from the heavily-armed Train trio.
Constable Kirk was wounded and is recovering in hospital after surgery.
