The boy attack stabbed another man in an incident police said had the "hallmarks" of terrorism but was yet to be declared a terrorist act.
Western Australia police shot dead a "radicalized" 16-year-old boy on Saturday night after he stabbed a man in Perth.
State Premier Roger Cook said the teenager attacked a man and then "rushed" at police officers, armed with a kitchen knife.
The police responded by shooting him twice with Tasers before firing a single fatal shot.
Why are "hallmarks", "radicalized" and "rushed" all in quotes? I could see an argument for radicalized, but hallmarks of terrorism is pretty standard stuff, and rushing is just a basic English language verb, synonymous with running. Odd to emphasize them as quotes.
"attack stabbed". He was really serious
The wording reminded me of Demolition Man
Better source from Australia

Because the cops got a tip from a Muslim about a teen who at one point used the internet?
Uhh...?
Nah, I think it was the part where he stabbed a dude and then rushed at the cops afterwards.
