CCTV has captured the horror that unfolded when a knife-wielding teen was shot dead by WA police in a Bunnings car park.
A brief late-night triple-0 phone call was the first crucial clue that WA police were about to have a major incident on their hands.
WA Premier Roger Cook said there were indications the boy had been "radicalised" by extreme ideologies online. "We are dealing with complex issues with a 16-year-old male. Both mental health issues but also online radicalisation issues. He is known to police, but we believe he very much is acting alone."
"Two tasers were shot at the person and then the gunshot was fired promptly afterwards, however, there was a bit of distance before all of those were happening — everyone in my restaurant was able to hear the gunshot as well."The restaurant supervisor said it was not until this morning that he found out the teenager's declared intention of committing acts of violence.
