Hero Cop Stops Australia Stabbing Spree

A female police officer is being called a hero after acting alone to neutralize the suspect who went on a stabbing spree at a shopping center near Sydney , Australia . Six people are dead and eight more injured, including a 9-month-old infant, after a 40-year-old man wielding a knife went on a rampage Saturday afternoon at Westfield Bondi Junction.

Jason Dixon told The Daily Telegraph that as the officer approached the suspect, the man refused to drop his knife. 'All she said was: ‘Put it down.’ Just once. Then she shot him in the chest and he went down,' said Dixon. He added that the man gave the officer no other choice. 'She had to shoot him because he just kept coming. He had a knife and he wasn’t going to stop,' he said. 'He was advancing at her, and he was running, coming to get someone else.

She confronted the offender who had moved by this stage to level five as she continued to walk quickly behind him to catch up with him. He turned, faced her, raised a knife. She discharged a firearm and that person is now deceased,' Cooke said. Five of the six stabbing victims were women, while eight people, including the baby, have been hospitalized in Sydney and are receiving treatment, authorities said.
