Original title: The number of injured in the Auckland supermarket terrorist attack in New Zealand rises to 7
On the afternoon of September 4, local time, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern stated at a press conference that a total of 7 people were injured in the terrorist attack on a large supermarket in Auckland on the afternoon of the 3rd, of which 3 were seriously injured.
According to reports, after entering the supermarket, the attacker took a knife from the shelf as a murder weapon and launched an attack on innocent people who were shopping.
The assailant was shot dead by the police who were following him.
The attacker is a supporter of the extremist organization "Islamic State" and is from Sri Lanka. Since 2016, he has been considered a potential threat due to extremist remarks and has been under police surveillance.
Since this person did not commit any other crimes, the police failed to control him before his action.
