        Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern described Friday's incident as a terror attack. She said the man was a Sri Lankan national who was inspired by the Islamic State group.http://apne.ws/oDz9Rpa

        New Zealand authorities were so worried about an Islamic extremist they were following him around-the-clock and were able to shoot and kill him within 60 seconds of him unleashing a frenzied knife attack that wounded six people at an Auckland supermarket.http://apne.ws/3ZzA6VT

        The police team monitoring him followed him into the supermarket and within a minute the whole thing was over and he was shot dead. He wasn't armed going in, he got the knife off a shelf in the supermarket. Our cops seem to have done a decent job here.
