Seven people are dead, and others are in serious or critical condition after a stabbing rampage in a mall in Sydney, Australia, on Saturday, according to police. The attacker, who was shot by a lone officer, was among the dead, and a baby among those stabbed.
New South Wales Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told a news conference that the attacker walked into the Westfield Bondi Junction mall at about 3:20 p.m. local time (1:20 a.m. ET) where he “caused harm” to about nine people “stabbing them with a weapon he was carrying.” The weapon “was most likely a knife,” he said.
A spokesperson for New South Wales Ambulance told NBC News that a nine-month-old baby was “transported to Sydney Children’s Hospital with a pediatric stab wound.”
Cooke said that an inspector near the scene was guided to the offender’s location by members of the public. As she pursued him from behind, Cooke said the offender turned and the officer shot him.
“She took the action, saving a range of people’s lives,” he added.

Mmmm.. Muslim?
Video of the Terrorist running around the shopping mall in Sydney trying to stab people
kudos to the officer for doing the right thing...
First time I've heard something so described.
Most likely a Muslim.
Or maybe Aboriginal?
Captain Obvious is cautious today.
Cop shot him before he could articulate “Allah Akbar!”
It took a gun to stop the rampage. All those defenseless people trying to run, and hide, and protect a little baby. Solzhenitsyn said it right: people need weapons to protect themselves and little babies. Now about the beliefs of the attacker?
His beard could be Shiite. Police say he was a known wolf and were quick to say not terrorism. And before their left disarmed the Aussies he’d have been blown away by carrying subjects, long before their official hero cop babe shot him.
the religion of peace
First time I've heard it used.
When will we have common sense knife laws and registration...
The good news is that they weren’t shot with a firearm thanks to gun confiscation, right mates? However rogue knives roaming our streets can be just as dangerous as rogue guns are. Damn inanimate objects going around killing human beings.
So, was he a Muslim, or perhaps a...Muslim. No wait, he could also have been a Muslim.
Ah, the religion of hate. Bringing meaningless violence into each and every nation. I wonder if there’s something that could be done about that? Uh, no, until we take care of our woke types - then perhaps.
Probably Muslim but if you say that in Australia you go to jail.
The Aussies are woke? Or it was early in the morning? I would have thought that they would have kicked this guy’s @$$. Especially since he only had a knife to attack people with.
At this time, it seems she used the best option to mitigate damage.
