(Thanks, A. :)

(According to the article, they didn't miss but the man just kept coming anyway. However, it's definitely odd that several bystanders were injured as they were.)

Westfield Hornsby shooting: Police shoot 'knife-wielding' man, four people injured
http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/westfield-hornsby-shooting-police-shoot-knife-wielding-man-four-people-injured/ar-AAgOKx2?ocid=spartandhp

This incident was shown on national tv some minutes ago. It highlights the dangers of shooting someone in a crowded place.

Police usually have capsicum spray at their side for situations such as this.

No footage shown of such capsicum spray in use upon the man claimed to be with a knife.

How can trained police could miss shooting a grown male at such close distance with a new type of pistol they now use?

In one sense the police present with pistols drawn and ready to fire have harmed bystanders whilst failing to remove the said knife from the man and thereby protected only themselves from harm.

What do we make of that?
