ISIS-Inspired Terrorist Shot Dead After He Stabs 6 In New Zealand

​By a Staff Reporter: An attacker inspired by the Islamic State group stabbed six people at a New Zealand supermarket on Friday before police who had the man under surveillance shot him dead, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.

Ardern said the man, a Sri Lankan national who arrived in New Zealand in 2011 and was on a terror watchlist, entered a shopping mall in suburban Auckland, seized a knife from a display and went on a stabbing spree.

 She said six people were wounded, three critically, before police who were monitoring him opened fire within 60 seconds of the attack starting.
