“I am advised that there are five victims who are now deceased as a result of the actions of this offender.”“I don’t have an indication of any motivation coming from the scene. You must appreciate things are very, very raw at this stage, and we are in the very early stages of investigations.” “No one will be allowed access tonight to the car park,” the policeman told onlookers. “It’s safe and secure. There are 1000 cops. Follow it up tomorrow or the next day.”
“The safety and security of our customers, business partners and people is our highest priority,” they said. “At the direction of police, we are asking the public to avoid the area at this time.”A man who asked not to be identified was near the Country Road sourdough cafe with his two small children, and he says he saw a man in a green shirt start stabbing people indiscriminately.
“I saw the copper and I followed her upstairs and also other people coming this way, and people saying he’s coming this way, but I followed her and just as we got to around the corner, there he was.“He just started flying towards us and all I heard is, ‘put it down’, and then she shot him.“She went over and was giving him CPR. He had a nice big blade on him. He looked like he was on a killing spree.
