Young child. Police believe they know who the attackers. He was shot dead by a Police Officer at the scene. They believe he is a0 years old and they know a little bit about him. Let us look at what we know so far. Heres what we know so far Emergency Services arrived at Westfield Bondi junction around 3. A5pm local time. At least six people have been killed by a man with a knife, five women one man. Eight people are in hospital, being treated for various injuries, including a nine month old baby. The attacker has been shot dead, and police say he was a a0 year old man known to police. Police say its too early to make an assessment on what could have been the attacker� s motivation. He was shot dead by a female Police Officer who was in the area at the time the Prime MinisterAnthony Albanese praising her for her heroic efforts which saved lives. Witnesses have been speaking to local media. I heard people yelling and screaming and running so i thought there must be something going on. Sol and running so i thought there must be something going on. So i saw her and ifollowed her all the way upstairs. Just as we got to around the corner, because i saw them coming, there he was, he started coming, there he was, he started coming towards us and started floating towards us, all i heard was put it down. And then she shot him. If she had not shoot him he would have kept going like rambo. Then she walked over to give him cpr. He had a nice big blade on him so she checked the knife away. He was on a Killing Spree and this woman came downstairs, there is another two bodies near the wedding shop, look like they had been stabbed. They look like a male and female.

We can look now, the man on the right is a member of the man on the right is a member of the public and on the left in the black, we think is the alleged attacker. The man in white holding up attacker. The man in white holding up a pole, clearly blocking him, confronting him which it seems to be a remarkably brave thing to do. Last hour we heard from karen webb, commissioner of the New South Wales police force. About 3 30pm this afternoon, a male with a knife entered Westfield Shopping Centre at Bondi Junction and attacked a number of people. Police were called and a Police Officer responded and faced that man and neutralised that thread within that Shopping Centre. 0ther police attended and helped. Witnesses, shopkeepers and others in the Shopping Centre will help to move on from the Shopping Centre, and as a result, there were fourfemale women deceased in the Shopping Centre and one male, and subsequently another female passed away in hospital, taking it to a total of six plus the death of the offender. There are about eight people in hospitals around sydney being treated for different injuries associated with being attacked in the hospital, at the Shopping Centre, including a nine month old infant that has been in surgery. Police have secured the crime scene, which you can imagine is expansive, inside a very big, busy commercial Shopping Centre in sydney. And the crime scene remains ongoing. And it will remain ongoing for a number of days. The Shopping Centre will in fact be closed tomorrow for trade, and westfield will work with police to assist in the removal of vehicles from the Shopping Centre tomorrow. But in the meantime, the Shopping Centre will remain a crime scene. Later this evening, we became aware of who we believe the offender is and we believe that he is a a0 year old man, however, were waiting to formally identify him and cannot speculate yet on his identification. But let me assure you that we are confident that there is no ongoing risk and we are dealing with one person who is now deceased. Are there any questions . What do you know about this man this stage . I will actually hand over to the deputy commissioner. We know a little about this person but we are waiting to confirm his identification. And if in fact it is the person believe it is, we dont have fears that person hasnt ideation. In other words, it is not a terrorism incident.

But also many of the shopkeepers and people within the Shopping Centre that showed amazing courage and bravery so it was an awful situation and no doubt people are dealing with the trauma of what they witnessed. But it could have been much worse. As the victims are women, to tap play a as the victims are women, to tap play a role . As the victims are women, to tap play a role .
