Police blocking the main roads leading to the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping mall after a stabbing incident in Sydney on April 13.SYDNEY – Police in Sydney have yet to uncover the motive of a mass murderer who went on a stabbing spree at a shopping mall on April 13, killing six people and bringing Australia ’s largest city to a standstill.
The officer, who happened to be near the shopping centre and had rushed to the scene, chased down the man and shot him after he turned to face her and raised his knife. “There is nothing we are aware of at the scene that would indicate any motive or any ideology,” Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke of New South Wales Police told reporters.
Australia has some of the world’s toughest gun and knife laws, and its terrorism threat level was lowered in 2022 to “possible”, which is the second-lowest of five ratings and indicates that the authorities believe “there are fewer violent extremists with the intention to conduct an attack onshore”.
The attack was the worst mass killing in Sydney since an arson attack at a nursing home in 2011 killed 11 people. “For all of us tonight, the devastating scenes at Bondi Junction are beyond words or understanding,” he said.
