Ahamed Samsudeen, 32, was shot and killed by police on September 3 after he grabbed a knife at an Auckland supermarket and began stabbing shoppers, injuring seven. Approximately 30 officers had been following Samsudeen around the clock for 53 days since his release from prison, worried he was primed to launch a terror attack at any moment. During his incarceration in New Zealand, he was moved to a maximum security prison after punching officers and repeatedly throwing feces and urine at them, corrections officials said on Tuesday. Since the attack, the condition of his victims has improved each day. Police said on Tuesday that two victims remain hospitalised in intensive care units while two more are in general wards, and are now in stable condition. The other three victims are recovering at home.
