The latest from the NSW police commissioner, Karen Webb:
"The attacker has been identified as a 40-year-old man known to law enforcement, though police are waiting to formally identify him.
He is believed to have acted alone.
“If he is the person that we believe, then we don’t have fears of that person holding an ideation. In other words, it’s not a terrorism incident,” Webb said."
Also revealed, the female police officer who shot the attacker just happened to be in the area:
"The female officer is a “very senior” inspector of police who was conducting routine checks on hospitality venues nearby. She was alone and responded quickly, firing three shots which killed the attacker."
