This is the best summary I could come up with:

A New South Wales police inspector has been hailed as a hero after she shot dead a man who stabbed six people to death in a shopping centre in Bondi Junction.

The senior officer, Amy Scott, was conducting routine duties nearby when she was directed to head to Westfield shopping centre following reports a man was using a “massive” knife to stab shoppers.

Cooke said the officer was walking “quickly” behind the man to catch up with him before he turned towards her with a knife witnesses have described as “massive”.

The NSW police commissioner, Karen Webb, also praised the inspector, calling her “enormously courageous”.

At a press conference on Saturday evening, Webb said police believed the offender is a 40-year-old man, but he was yet to formally identified.

As is standard practice when a police officer is involved with a death, the events have been declared a critical incident and will be investigated, with oversight from the state’s Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.
