A 16 year-old youth has been shot dead by Western Australia (WA) Police after he called Triple Zero and told them he planned to commit “acts of violence.” He then went on to allegedly attack a man with a knife in a car park in a Bunnings car park on High Road in the southern Perth suburb of Willetton just after 10 p.m. yesterday (May 4).

A second Triple Zero call was made by a member of the public who saw the teen running around the car park wielding a knife.
