CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: At least six people were killed in a stabbing attack at Sydney’s Westfield shopping centre on Saturday morning. The suspect was also shot dead by police during rescue operations.
A total of nine people were attacked at the shopping centre at Bondi Junction, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. The stabbing spree was stopped by a police inspector who managed to fatally shoot the man who raised a knife at her. The inspector was alone when she confronted the attacker and was able to save lives of several people, said police.
“If she did not shoot him, he would have kept going, he was on the rampage,” Reuters quoted a witness as saying, “She went over and was giving him CPR. He had a nice big blade on him. He looked like he was on a killing spree.”
