Six people, including a nine-month-old baby and the attacker, died in a stabbing rampage at Bondi Junction Westfield in Sydney. The 40-year-old assailant, shot dead by police, is believed to have acted alone. Witnesses described scenes of chaos as shoppers fled the assailant wielding a "big blade." A lone police officer, hailed as a hero, confronted and killed the attacker. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese praised her actions. Police are withholding the attacker's identity pending formal identification, and there is no indication of terrorism. The motive remains unclear, and authorities reassure the public of no ongoing threat.
