At a press conference Saturday evening local time, police said five people were killed and several other injured people were taken to hospital, including a young child. Police said the knifeman is believed to have acted alone, but they said they had no information about him or evidence of a motive at the time of the briefing. The policewoman shot the man when he turned and raised his knife at her.
A NSW Ambulance spokesperson said eight victims were taken to hospital and six were pronounced dead at the scene. These numbers may change as more information is developed.
WARNING: Photos and videos from the mall show victims bleeding. Others show some people defending themselves against the knifeman or running towards danger, and the policewoman with the killed attacker.
