Horrific attack in Sydney shopping centre
News programs here in the u.k have had continuous coverage of killings of innocent shoppers in a Sydney shopping centre,by a person with a knife stabbing and murdering 6 people, amongst them a woman and her baby . The baby survived but is in hospital with serious injury along with 8 or more other victims.
A female policewoman who was first on scene shot and killed the attacker, preventing more attacks.
I say good on the lady policewoman.
.
Our thoughts go out to all those attacked and their families.
Apparently the attacker was known to the police who had opposed bail for him at a recent court hearing but had been overuled by the judge.

Aree with all your comments John, also think the Police Officer is a very brave lady and deserves a medal for her life saving actions.
