'Run, run, run': Chaos at Sydney mall as 6 stabbed

Sydney, AP: A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping centre Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene.

Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured. The 40-year-old was stopped in the knifing attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, which is in the city's eastern suburbs, when a police inspector shot him after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters.

“They just said run, run, run — someone's been stabbed,” one witness told ABC TV. "(The attacker) was walking really calmly like he was having an ice cream in a park.

And then he went up the escalators ... and probably within about a minute we heard three gunshots.”
