        I watched the press release the ABC posted, and the police said that 5 were dead “as a result of his actions”, so I’d take that to mean their tally excluded him

          Yes I should have said ‘Five killed by the attacker’. I was watching the police presser when you posted this which is where I got the figure from.

            @maniacalmanicmania @Baku “As a result of his actions” is worded in a deliberately vague way. It could mean one of two things.

            Either they’re saying all five people (including the attacker, who was shot by a police officer) are dead because of the attacker’s actions.

            Or they’re saying he stabbed five people.
