"Sydney Mall Stabbing: Police Investigate Targeting of Women by Attacker"
TL;DR
Australian police are investigating why a man who stabbed six people to death in a Sydney shopping mall targeted women while avoiding men. The assailant, Joel Cauchi, had a history of mental illness and his father attributed the targeting to his frustration at not having a girlfriend. Most of the victims were women, and the only male killed was a security guard. A day of national mourning was declared to honor the victims, and flags flew at half-staff across Australia.
