The police in Perth, Australia, shot and killed a 16-year-old boy who had stabbed a man in a parking lot. The boy was reportedly on their radar for suspicion of having extremist tendencies. The shooting occurred after the police received a call from a male who threatened violence. Members of the public also alerted the police about the teenager wielding a knife. When officers arrived, they tried to persuade the boy to drop the knife, but he rushed at one of the officers, who then shot him. The victim, who was stabbed in the back, is in serious but stable condition.
