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.

How has the anglo-saxon world fallen so low?
Was the knife an “assault weapon”? Was it’s magazine capacity too high? Its rate of fire too fast?
We need knife control! Knife control legislation now! After all no one really needs a sharp knife in the modern world and if we can save one life by banning all knives, shouldn’t we?
Right wing extremist are blocking knife control!
He could be from any ethnic community, I guess. Those clothes he wears are rather expensive sports gear - the jersey is a 'supporters' garment that costs hundreds. But he looks haggard and as if he is run down. I don't think he is dressed like an Islamic fundamentalist, because he has shorts on, and no sleeves. They would normally cover up. But who knows?

Wow. Thanks for the update. A Queenslander - Italian name.
Attacker identified by police as Joel Cauchi.
Are they calling for knife permits?
Isn’t this the country where the government outlawed self defense when they seized their guns?
“When will we have common sense knife laws and registration...”
They already have such laws in both UK and Australia
Generally speaking, yes.
Only for White Aussies.
What we need are proper mental asylums, where the insane are confined, not roaming around the shopping centre. Bring back mental asylums.
considering their success fighting hate words, they concluded that six dead and several hospitalized were “acceptable casualties.”

It doesn’t matter if it was Muslim or someone else. Australia is finish.
Some time ago I saw on TV a policeman attacking with electrical teaser a 95-year-old woman on a walker.
They killed a woman, and no one in Australia did anything.
THIS is a country of bandits and idiots, who vaccinated themselves with a medical experiment and are proud of it.
It’s a fascist country.
I don’t feel sorry for idiots. They wanted multi culti, they have it, and besides, they are all vaccinated against Covid because they are stupid. In no other country apart from New Zealand were people so eager to get vaccinated. You have to pay for stupidity.
Calling Australia a white country today is a huge exaggeration. They were never white. Today, white people’s countries are Poland, Czechoslovakia and Russia. The rest is Africa and Asia, there is a saying that if you bring Africa to you, you have Africa.
