At around 2.40 p.m. last Friday, 3 September, a known ideologically motivated violent extremist entered the Countdown supermarket at LynnMall in Auckland's New Lynn. While in the supermarket, the individual took a knife from the shelves and used to it to attack six innocent shoppers, and a seventh person was also injured. A police team surveilling the terrorist intervened, shot, and killed him. The terrorist acted alone; we are confident of that.
