Perth Attack: Boy Shot Dead After Stabbing Man
16-year-old Attacked Randomly
Authorities in Perth, Australia, have confirmed that a 16-year-old boy was shot and killed by police after randomly stabbing a man on Sunday. The incident, which occurred in the city's CBD, comes just weeks after a stabbing spree in a Sydney mall on April 13 that left six people injured.
Boy Attacked Without Provocation
According to Western Australian Premier Roger Cook and WA Police Commissioner Col Blanch, the boy armed with a knife attacked the man without provocation. Officers responded to the scene and attempted to apprehend the suspect, but he refused to comply with their commands. As a result, they were forced to use their firearms to neutralize the threat.
Investigation Ongoing
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and further details are expected to be released in the coming days. Authorities are urging anyone with information or footage related to the attack to come forward and assist with the investigation.
