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.

    No it’s basic knowledge, and it absolutely is akin to the abortion debate. You sound like that dumbass senator who said a woman’s body knows if it was a legit pregnancy or rape and can get rid of it if it’s rape. That’s the level of ignorance the majority of you anti-gun people have.

      Please demonstrate your claim that the abortion debate and gun debate are the same.

      Nice personal attack btw. Really convinced me.

        I literally just did. The mass majority of users here and the mass majority of antigun people do not understand what they want legislated away. The same goes for prolife tools.

        Where did I personally attack you?
