Still waiting for some more info, one of our contractors is a block away and head the shots which appear to have been the police shooting the driver (think that was confirmed)
The first vid where the cops have him on the ground face down and cuffed, then dragged along the floor face down. Ouch.
What an awful thing to happen in such a beautiful city!
More from Victoria Police's Stuart Bateson.A male deliberately drove into pedestrians in the Bourke Street mall, and we currently have three deceased and at least 20 injuries.
I can confirm that we believe this is connected to an earlier stabbing in the southern metro region.
We have the offender in custody. There is no further threat to the public at this stage.
I can also confirm that this is not a CT-related incident.
My assumption would be CT is confirming this is crimnal not terrorism.
Still very shocking

and also just sinking in that if I didn't have a gig to go to today I would have been in an office just round there today.
3 dead and reporters saying a small child was knocked from his stroller? FFS
"Not terror related" at the moment.
Small child now one of the fatalities 🙁
Looks like a normal day in Blackburn, Lancashire.
How do we define terrorism these days?
Does it have to be carried out by people of certain origin?
How do we define terrorism these days?
Same as always, a crime designed to create terror
This one unfortunately looks too much like meth
How do we define terrorism these days?
Depends what side the Daily Mail got out of bed, who are already making comments such as "Islamic"
Meth. History of violence. And mental health issues.
Interestingly, my wife was at a work "thing" with our state premier who admitted that Meth is such a huge problem here, they have no strategy and absolutely no idea what to do.

Something designed to create terror, [u]and thus destabilise the political situation[/u].
5th death. 3 month old boy. Awful.
