16-year-old attacker shot dead in Willetton Perth

A 16-year-old male has been fatally shot by police in Perth’s south. This comes after the boy had stabbed a man in the back in a Willetton carpark. The man was taken to hospital and remains in a serious but stable condition. The police confronted the attacker who was asked to drop the knife but instead lunged at the police. The police tasered the 16-year-old before finally fatally shooting him. The Western Australian premier and police commissioner labelled the attack as having ‘hallmarks of a terror incident’ but not officially declaring it a terror attack.
