A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured.
New South Wales police said they believed a 40-year-old man was responsible for the Saturday afternoon attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs and not far from the world-famous Bondi Beach. They said they were not able to name him until a formal identification had taken place but that they weren’t treating the attack as terrorism-related.
The man was shot dead by a police inspector after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters.
There needed to be more good guys with a knife.
Well thankfully he didn’t have easy access to a gun
That’s all I think about whenever I hear about a sick fucko intent on killing.
With a gun, the numbers would be significantly higher.
I agree with all points, but isn’t the officer who stopped it from continuing the ‘good guy with a gun’ here?
It’s almost like it’s possible to have good guys with guns without letting every single person get guns by default.
They’re all in England.
