Australian Police Shoot Dead Radicalised Teen Who Stabbed Civilian In Perth, Then Charged At Cops

Western Australian police shot and killed a "radicalised" 16-year-old boy with a knife who had wounded a member of the public in Perth, police and the state premier said Sunday.

The teenager "rushed" at police after wounding someone and was fatally shot by an officer, Premier Roger Cook told a news conference.

"There are indications he had been radicalised online. But I want to reassure the community at this stage it appears he acted solely and alone."
