SYDNEY (AP) — The people killed and wounded by an assailant at a Sydney shopping mall were mostly women.
A police officer shot and killed the man who had attacked people at the busy Westfield Bondi Junction mall, and his family said he had a long history of schizophrenia, lacked social skills and had a fascination with knives. Police said their investigation would include why he targeted women and avoided men during his attack.
Those killed were five women and one man. Twelve people were wounded, and police said they mostly were female.
Here’s some information on those killed.
