Presser summary:
2 charges of first degree murder will be laid this afternoon, one count of attempted murder, 2 counts of possession of offensive weapons (2 knives), further charges coming pending interviews with other victims... possibly this afternoon. 60 interviews completed yesterday, more to do today. Detectives currently enroute for those interviews. Victim families notified, one died inside and one died in an ambulance after leaving the scene.
Police believe he acted alone. Too early to say motive. Incident lasted only "minutes", 50-70 yard random and sporadic area. Too early to say/speculate if victims were specifically targeted. Initially indication was that body armour was worn, but it was just a military style vest with a lot of pockets. Search warrant for his residence/vehicle currently being obtained. Forensic team still on scene and hopefully be done early evening today.
Suspect has been calm, cooperative, polite.
