Police in Sydney, Australia say six people are dead after a man went on a stabbing rampage at a busy shopping center, before he was fatally shot.
At least eight other people, including a 9-month-old child, were injured.
According to police, the suspect attacked nine people Saturday at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction in the city’s eastern suburbs, before a police inspector shot him after the suspect turned and raised a knife.
Police said the suspect acted alone and the attack does not appear to be related to terrorism. An investigation is underway.
New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke Cooke stated that the inspector was alone when she confronted the suspect and engaged him soon after her arrival on the scene, “saving a range of people’s lives.”
