A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured.
New South Wales police said they believed a 40-year-old man was responsible for the Saturday afternoon attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs and not far from the world-famous Bondi Beach. They said they were not able to name him until a formal identification had taken place but that they weren’t treating the attack as terrorism-related.
The man was shot dead by a police inspector after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters.
Yes bullets don’t stop after 20 feet… what’s your point? The spray into a crowd that size and that packed together, it’s surprising more weren’t killed.
The point is, when your target is a crowd of people, automatic fire is not as ineffective as you make it out to be.
Like at a music festival… or in a mall.
It’s ineffective at killing people, literally the numbers prove this.
