A ‘radicalised’ teenage boy has been shot dead by police following an “extremely confronting” incident in Willetton on Saturday night.
WA Premier Roger Cook said a 16-year-old male had been shot by a police officer after rushing them with a knife in a Bunnings car park on High Street around 10pm.
WA Police Commissioner Col Blanch said several people called triple-0 concerned about the actions of the teenager, after he indicated he was going to hurt people. Three minutes after the first triple-0 call from a member of the public, three police arrived at the Bunnings car park and found a male running around with a large kitchen knife. Two officers drew their Tasers, a third drew his firearm and ordered him to drop the weapon.
