The father of the Sydney shopping centre attacker said he too would have shot his son if he was the lone police officer who had to confront the knifeman.

Joel Cauchi fatally stabbed five women and one man during a knife attack on Bondi Junction Westfield on Saturday. Cauchi’s family has voiced their support for Inspector Amy Scott, the policewoman who killed their son.
