Tragic details in Westfield shooting chaos
Police have revealed that the machete-wielding man shot dead at major shopping centre in Sydney's west was married and has two children. Police shot and killed the 29-year-old man following a six-woman brawl in the Westfield Mount Druitt car park on Saturday afternoon, where police allege he showed up with a 'large machete'. A fight started between two groups of women at about 3.15pm on Saturday in the car park across from the centre's Hoyts movie theatre. Police have alleged the man's wife was one of the women involved in the brawl. Assistant Commissioner Gavin Wood said the brawl involved six women in their mid-20s, and the melee was 'opportunistic' with the women not knowing each other or reportedly having no known gang affiliation. 'It was just a sheer fluke that they have met, crossed paths and the melee has started. 'The rationale or the reason for the melee we do not know at this stage, it is subject to investigation.' Shortly after the brawl, police said, the 29-year-old arrived at the scene in his car. He had a 'slight interaction' with police before returning to his car and taking out a 50cm-long machete. The man the walked towards the group, at which point police asked him to drop his machete. Assistant Commissioner Wood said the man did not follow police instructions and continued walking towards the group of women. He was then shot by a police officer and died at the scene. Assistant Commissioner Wood backed his officers, and said he was 'content' with their actions. 'The police officers got in the middle, between the deceased person who was carrying a large machete and some of those females subject to the melee. 'Their actions were brave and I want to put that one record. 'The investigation will be subject to scrutiny, as it should be, but their actions were brave,' he said. On Saturday, reports emerged that the man had reportedly approached police, prompting them to fire 'a number of shots.' A critical incident has now been declared and in investigation will be undertaken. Criminal defence lawyer Rick Rabbah, who was at the scene, told 7News the incident was distressing, even for someone in his profession. 'I specialise in criminal defence, but for things to occur for a day like 3pm on a busy weekend, it's terrifying for everyone, even for someone like myself,' he said. A critical incident team from State Crime Command's Homicide Squad will lead the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Miley Cyrus' ‘Something Beautiful' To Screen In Australian Cinemas Next Week
Australian fans of Miley Cyrus will get a chance to see the mutli-platinum pop star return to the big screen next week (June 27th), with nationwide screenings of her new film Something Beautiful having been announced by Event, Hoyts and Village Cinemas for at least one cinema in every state and territory. The film serves as the accompanying visuals to Cyrus' ninth studio album of the same name, which was released late last month. The full list of screenings can be found below. Something Beautiful was both co-directed and co-produced by Cyrus herself. She wrote the film with her team of co-directors, Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter. The former has been working with Cyrus since her previous studio album, 2023's Endless Summer Vacation, which included directing the music video for the chart-topping 'Flowers' – which has over one billion views on YouTube. The latter, meanwhile, is a former guitarist for the American pop-punk band Valencia, whose work as a videographer includes credits with Fall Out Boy, Lorde, Weezer, Sia, Green Day and Shawn Mendes. In promotional materials for the film, Something Beautiful is described as 'a one-of-a-kind pop opera'. '[This] is my dream project come true — fashion, film, and original music coexisting in harmony,' said Cyrus. 'My co-creators are all geniuses in their own right: From the masters of sound, Shawn Everett and Alan Meyerson, to one of cinema's most unique directors, Panos Cosmatos, serving as a producer. Each collaborator has used their expertise to make this fantasy a reality.' Prior to Something Beautiful, Cyrus' only other recent film appearance was an uncredited cameo in Ethan Coen's 2024 film Drive-Away Dolls, which starred Pedro Pascal and Beanie Feldstein. She was last seen before that in 2017's Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, where she cameoed as Mainframe. Her last lead acting role was in 2012's So Undercover, alongside Jeremy Piven and her mother Tish. All screenings are on Friday, June 27th. All screenings are at 7pm unless otherwise indicated.
