    Police shoot dead woman brandishing knife at Hungry Jack's in West Hoxton

    A woman armed with a knife has been shot dead by police officers outside a fast food outlet in West Hoxton in Sydney's south-west.

    Police declared a critical incident after the shooting at the Hungry Jack's outlet on the corner of Hoxton Park Road just before midday.Witnesses have told the ABC they saw emergency services performing CPR on the woman.

    Police said the woman was assessed by ambulance paramedics but died at the scene.

    A critical incident team from the State Crime Command's Homicide Squad and investigators from South West Metropolitan Region will now investigate all circumstances surrounding the incident, including the woman's actions prior to police intervention and the discharge of a firearm.

    That investigation will be overseen by the Professional Standards Command.

    Local resident Alan Sobbi said he saw the incident from the balcony of his home.

    "We saw two police officers talking to a woman, yelling and then she approached them with something and we heard bang bang," Mr Sobbi said.

    "After that police came from all over the place and we didn't know the woman was shot dead until later.

    "So we heard the shots and saw her attacking the police.

    "She moved forward to the police. I couldn't see if she had anything in her hand or not, but she was moving towards the police.

    "When we heard the gunshots we thought 'is this a movie?'

    "We never thought someone was going to get shot."

    Road closures and traffic diversions remain in place.

    At least they tried non lethal options first, that should dull the rage

    This is a pretty rare thing to happen in Australia . . . although Sydney does seem to be increasingly becoming the mecca for Oz gun violence.

    I can't remember the stats, but a large chunk of police shooting deaths here involve a mentally ill person.

    Homegirl was obviously a threat but I think one should at least try to deliver a bullet to the kneecaps first or something.

    So, the title of this makes it sound like the police were shooting a dead woman who was attacking them with a knife. If that was the case, I can now see why being tazed and pepper sprayed didn't work. Only head shots take down a zombie

    Well video game zombies are a whole other matter. The game would be nearly impossible to only get headshots. I've been creepily obsessed with zombies since I was lik 7 or 8

    Yeah, my son is 6 and has been obsessed for like 2 years. He watches videos on youtube all the time about them. It's insane.

    Did anyone put a paper crown on her corpse and take a selfie with it?

    If not, golden opportunity missed.

    Maybe only old people were there and since they're not on social media what would be the point?

    Get the fuck out.

    I've seen The Walking Dead.

    They're far too flappy boned to wield anything.

    I know I laughed my ass off when I saw that headline !
    They just confirmed on channel 10 she was suffering mental health issues.
    I didn't know zombies had problems with mental health, but I guess they deserve compassion too
    On a serious note that makes how her life ended even more heartbreaking
