Today’s non-US mass shooting (or attacks with other means than firearms)

God, we do seem to be exporting our worst ideas. You might say, we are not sending our finest. I am so sorry…

The “right to acquire, keep and bear firearms” is recognised in Czech firearms legislation, while a constitutional amendment made to the charter of fundamental rights as recently as 2021 legally guarantees “the right to defend one’s own life or the life of another person with a weapon”.

Live updates:

Two suspects: one shot dead by a female police officer (he was rushing people with a knife at the time), the other is still being searched for. Multiple deaths, many more going to hospital, including a nine month old baby. It is, as I write this, an active situation.

Sydney stabbing live updates: Westfield Bondi Junction attack leaves six dead, including attacker shot by police, and multiple people in critical condition Sydney stabbing live updates: Westfield Bondi Junction attack leaves six dead, including attacker shot by police, and multiple people in critical condition | Bondi Junction stabbings | The Guardian

The Police haven’t made a statement on any motive yet.
For context, it is worth noting this occurred in an affluent area of Sydney with a large Jewish community.

It’s also a busy shopping center in more-or-less central Sydney, on a Saturday. I don’t think there was any sign of targeting here.

Apparently the infant is in surgery, and I’ve heard reports that one of the deceased was its mother.

Seven dead now, including the culprit.

Edit:
"Cauchi had moved from the Brisbane area and rented a “very small” storage unit in Sydney which police searched overnight, Cooke said.

Cooke would not say what police found in the unit, which Guardian Australia understands was only about 1 cubic square metre in size."

Renting in Sydney is no joke.

Second edit:

This is truly horrible.
He seemed to be targeting women.
Can we call this femicide?

Between this and the Australian mass stabbing, we will once again be hearing about how “if you take away guns, they will just use knives, or hammers.” Or swords, I guess. Without taking into account the difference is number of casualties involved. God, I hate this timeline.

A 13 year old boy who was attacked in Hainault has died.

I hate this fucking timeline, and all the fucking assholes in it.
