Some bad shit going down in Bondi Junction. Hate to see that sort of news. At least it seems to be resolving with shoppers being allowed to leave after the centre locked down.
Current updates are that the offender has been shot and killed by police, 7 people including a baby were stabbed, but the condition of the victims hasn't been released

Edit: 5 people have been killed
omg
Watching some of the updates. This is so distressing.
I made the mistake of looking at some of the footage as it was being posted. It wasn't a good sight. But the bloke who blocked the knife man with a bollard is an absolute hero and made a shit day slightly less shir
Iβve got channel 9 on at the moment. They seem to be running coverage about it and probably will for the next few hours.
I think they said there were 8 injured as well who were taken to hospital.
I heard they were harrassing all the poor people coming out the second they walked through the doors. Are they still doing that?
Iβm not sure. Thereβs a lot of press conferences happening now.
They did interview a good number of the public from what seems like earlier recounting all the details of the ideal and what they saw during the event.
They were, yes.
Hate to profile, but the bloke looks like some dero shit cunt (Iβm allowed the say that, cunt stabbed a baby the therefore thatβs what he is). Anyone wanna put money on he was known to police?!
We have GOT to do something about mental health in this country. And weβve gotta stop letting personal freedoms trump your risk to the greater public.
Holy shit what the fuck
Yeah seems like some really deranged fucker going around stabbing people out of nowhere. Including a mum and baby!
Thank fuck he didn't have a gun
Bloody hell
That sounds awful :(
