Here in Australia the nightly news is flooded with the incident... I have heard one report that he shouted allah ahkbar... but that was from an eye witness. The last report the anchor said it was a downtown “shooting” then he passed it off to a reporter on the ground. She then spoke about the “gunman” and then corrected herself! It’s very filtered here. Don’t want to offend any group.
Channel 7 played video that included what sounded like him shouting Allahu Akbar and acknowledged it in their coverage. But some reports are playing up mental illness as the cause.
We’re touring next month; I was going to warn the group about this situation.
