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.
From the 32nd floor of a hotel.
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.
Except when used in the largest mass killing im US history.
Again, the ratio of injuries vs deaths is way higher than when someone with a semi automatic has walked around and shot people. I don’t understand why that’s hard to understand.
Hell look at this gang shooting that just happened

“it killed 60 people, it’s ineffective at killing”
are you even listening to yourself?
C’mon, it’s obviously a troll. Nobody’s this brain dead.
