当局证实，周六下午，澳大利亚发生了一起持刀伤人事件，造成至少六人死亡，其中包括被警察开枪打死的嫌疑人。
事件发生在悉尼邦迪枢纽西田购物中心（Bondi Junction Westfield），这是一座六层楼的购物中心。
新南威尔士州警察助理局长安东尼·库克在新闻发布会上证实，包括袭击者在内的六人已经死亡。 他说，唯一的嫌疑人被一名独自一人的警官开枪射杀。
“她与此时已经移动到[商场]五层的罪犯对峙，同时她继续快步跟在他身后追赶他。他转身面向她，举起一把刀。她开了枪，然后那个人 现在已经去世了，”库克说。
另外八人被送往医院接受治疗。 据澳大利亚媒体报道，嫌疑人刺伤的人中有一名婴儿。
库克说，嫌疑人当时在购物中心，然后离开，然后返回并开始在中心刺伤人们。
目前尚不清楚嫌疑人的动机（如果有）和身份。 总理安东尼·阿尔巴内塞表示，澳大利亚联邦警察也没有宣布这是否是恐怖行为，但称其为“可怕的暴力行为”。
“我认为澳大利亚联邦警察局长已经明确表示，目前的猜测……是没有帮助的。我们应该允许调查人员继续他们的工作……今晚我也与澳大利亚安全情报组织（ASIO）总干事进行了讨论。动机 现阶段尚不清楚，当然，随着更多信息的了解，我们将继续向澳大利亚公众通报最新情况，”阿尔巴内斯说。
阿尔巴内塞表示，“国家向所有为失去亲人而悲痛的人们表示最深切的哀悼和同情，并向受伤的人们送去我们的力量。”
阿尔巴内斯说：“邦迪枢纽的毁灭性场景无法用言语或理解来形容，今晚澳大利亚人将会感到震惊。” “这是一次可怕的暴力行为，不分青红皂白地针对在一个普通的周六购物的无辜民众。”
总理对周六下午急救人员的快速工作表示赞赏。
“我们所有人都在想着那些尽职尽责的医生、护士和医护人员，他们将彻夜工作以拯救生命并照顾他们的澳大利亚同胞。
“今天，邦迪交汇处发生了令人震惊的暴力事件，但它也见证了我们澳大利亚同胞的人性和英雄主义。我们的警察、我们的急救人员，当然还有那些从未想象过自己会面临这样的情况的普通人。 那一刻和一些镜头非常非凡。”

A stabbing incident in Australia on Saturday afternoon left at least six people dead, including the suspect who was shot and killed by police, authorities confirmed.
The incident occurred at Bondi Junction Westfield, a six-storey shopping mall in Sydney.
New South Wales Police Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cook confirmed at a news conference that six people, including the attacker, had died. He said the lone suspect was shot by a lone officer.
“She confronted the offender, who by then had moved to the fifth floor of the [mall], while she continued to walk quickly behind him in pursuit of him. He turned to face her and raised a knife. She fired and the man was now passed away,” Cook said.
Eight other people were taken to hospital for treatment. According to Australian media reports, one of the people stabbed by the suspect was an infant.
Cook said the suspect was at the mall, left, then returned and began stabbing people in the center.
The suspect’s motive, if any, and identity are unclear at this time. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the Australian Federal Police had not announced whether it was an act of terrorism but called it a “horrible act of violence”.
“I think the Australian Federal Police Commissioner has made it clear that the current speculation… is not helpful. We should allow investigators to continue their work… I have also had discussions with the director-general of the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) this evening. The motive is unknown at this stage and of course we will continue to update the Australian public as more information becomes available,” Albanese said.
“The nation expresses its deepest condolences and sympathy to all those grieving the loss of their loved ones and sends our strength to those who are injured,” Albanese said.
“The devastating scenes at Bondi Junction cannot be described in words or understanding and Australians will be horrified tonight,” Albanese said. “This was a horrific act of violence, indiscriminately targeted in an ordinary Innocent people shopping on Saturday.”
The Prime Minister praised the quick work of emergency services on Saturday afternoon.
“We are all thinking of the dedicated doctors, nurses and healthcare workers who will be working through the night to save lives and care for their fellow Australians.
“Today was a shocking act of violence at Bondi Junction, but it was also a testament to the humanity and heroism of our fellow Australians. Our police, our first responders and of course those who never imagined they would face Ordinary people in situations like this. That moment and some of the shots were extraordinary.”
