NSW Police commissioner Mal Land said on Monday the officers suffered gunshot wounds as police exchanged fire with the alleged attackers.
In the statement, the families expressed “heartfelt gratitude to all first responders who acted with courage, in particular the police officers and paramedics who responded”, and thanked hospital staff, especially those working in intensive care.
They also thanked the community for its support, while asking for privacy as their loved ones focus on recovery and healing.
