Inspector Amy Scott risked her life to save others and stop Joel Cauchi’s stabbing rampage that killed six people, and has been praised for her kind and caring character after her diagnosis was made public.
“She is every bit the remarkable human you would think.
“She is fiercely independent and the first to champion others.”
She found Cauchi running through the shopping centre and shot him dead with two gunshots when he charged at her.
Scott also tried to offer him first aid in the immediate aftermath.
“Amy is a devoted wife, a loving mother of two young boys, and has a family who depend on her and walk this journey beside her every day,” they said.
“I’m devastated to hear this news,” Minns said at a press conference today.
NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon confirmed Scott had been fighting her cancer battle for “a number of months”.
He said all of NSW Police was supporting Scott and her family.
“Despite everything Amy is facing, she continues to show the remarkable person that she is by going out of her way to support her workmates, regularly coming into the station to offer comfort and assistance to those impacted by the recent Bondi terror attack,” Lanyon said.
He added Scott had requested privacy.
NSW Police Legacy has set up a fundraiser to help support Scott and her family, which has raised more than $86,000 after an initial goal of $25,000.
