Watching some of the updates. This is so distressing.

I made the mistake of looking at some of the footage as it was being posted. It wasn't a good sight. But the bloke who blocked the knife man with a bollard is an absolute hero and made a shit day slightly less shir

I’ve got channel 9 on at the moment. They seem to be running coverage about it and probably will for the next few hours.

I think they said there were 8 injured as well who were taken to hospital.

I heard they were harrassing all the poor people coming out the second they walked through the doors. Are they still doing that?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 1 points 6 months ago

I’m not sure. There’s a lot of press conferences happening now.

They did interview a good number of the public from what seems like earlier recounting all the details of the ideal and what they saw during the event.
