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.

Knife laws would never have prevented it but a more cautionary approach to muzzies would have. But the West will never learn.
It's now being reported in Australia that authorities believe that the attacker was someone named Ben Cohen.
That’s right - it was an AR style knife!
The Muslim craves rape and mass murder.
The sane world will ban guns and fossil fuels. How smart.
They haven’t given the perp’s name or pics yet. So either Muslim, Abo, or both, I’d guess.
Too tall to be Abo. Muslim.
Bush also said that Putin can be trusted.
We are buried by BS.
The name floating around Twitter is Benjamin Cohen, a Jew. That’s why authorities are saying it’s unlikely to be a terrorist attack.
Was perhaps irate by seeing religious jewelry displayed by shoppers.
Knives are more dangerous. You never run out of ammo, and they can be used from multiple angles of slashing and stabbing. A gun can only be used in the direction the barrel is pointing. If you know how to throw, some knives can be used to attack at a short distance. Altogether, a superior weapon to guns in the hands of a skilled man. But getting back to your joke, next shoelaces will go around garroting people.
You did not mention Barack.
Disarmament works. The Aussies in charge can take a bow.
Lost in the discussion was any overt mention of two facts: 1) Police response time, and; 2) only one cop showed up.
She may have thought quickly, but she didn’t respond quickly enough. Police response time, probably no fault of individual cops, is a killer. Along with the Australian government. This is one of the times I don’t want to read about government accomplices to murder bleating about thoughts and prayers.
The other cops were out in the sticks doing more important jobs, arresting and jailing Aussies for Hate Speech crimes
Could be.
Could be ..
Yep...some kinda Indonesian Muslim who’s been denied renewal of his “visitor’s visa” or something. These people are literally insane.
How gun control works
Both Sunni and Shia have multiple beard styles and there isn’t one specific to each.
