00:00Alan Dare lived next door to the rural property and went to investigate after hearing explosions
00:07and gunshots coming from the direction of the neighbouring home.
00:10The 58-year-old called another neighbour and asked him to meet at the front gate of the
00:15William Biller property, but they came across a car on fire.
00:18Within minutes, Mr Dare was shot and killed.
00:21He was filming the entire time.
00:23Today, Victor Lewis relived that moment, telling the coroner's court he didn't see or hear
00:29anything at the time because he was so focused on the blaze.
00:33He said it wasn't until Mr Dare dropped to the ground that he realised his friend was
00:38dead.
00:39After fleeing and eventually coming across police some several hundred metres away, he
00:43said the officers told him there was an active shooter.
00:47He criticised the police response, telling the court locals should have been warned earlier
00:51as it would have been known for some time two officers had been gunned down at that
00:56same address.
00:57Mr Dare's wife, Kerry, also took the witness stand and said she waited for hours to be
01:02given any details about her husband's death and labelled her treatment at the scene by
01:06officers as disgusting and immoral.
01:09The coroner's court has already heard constables Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold had been
01:14attending a routine job with two other colleagues when they were ambushed by Gareth and Nathaniel
01:20Train.
01:21The brothers and Gareth's wife, Stacey, who are accused of being conspiracy theorists
01:25with extreme religious views, were later killed after a siege with specialist police.
01:30All six deaths are being probed by a Queensland state coroner.
