Hungry Jack's shooting: police told woman was wielding large knife, inquest told

Inquest told Courtney Topic, who was shot dead by police, was likely suffering from undiagnosed schizophrenia

Radio calls about a knife-wielding woman shot dead by police near a Sydney fast-food restaurant told responding officers she was talking to herself and had a large knife pointed at her stomach, an inquest has heard.

Senior constable Paul Falzon told the Glebe coroners court on Thursday that, when he heard these calls, mental health or drug issues came to mind.
