A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured.

New South Wales police said they believed a 40-year-old man was responsible for the Saturday afternoon attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs and not far from the world-famous Bondi Beach. They said they were not able to name him until a formal identification had taken place but that they weren’t treating the attack as terrorism-related.

The man was shot dead by a police inspector after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters.

    First, infection isn’t even needed in this scenario, you don’t die from infection in 30 seconds.

    Secondly, the majority of people who are shot with a firearm via violence do not die. It’s not even close. In numbers.

    Third, firearms unless they hit you in the heart or head is not going to immediately kill you. This is why in war most of the casualties are injured and not death.

      Name a non-vital organ. Some part of the human body that if shot can not result in the death of a person.

          Last I checked, you kinda need lungs to breathe. And also last I checked, arms and legs aren’t organs
