Good, 38, was one of six people killed when a yet-to-be-identified man, believed to be aged in his 40s, rampaged through the shopping centre in Sydney’s east yesterday afternoon.
The knife-wielding attacker was shot dead by a lone police officer.
It’s understood Good was walking through the centre with her baby in a pram when they were caught up in the attack.
The man is believed to have stabbed the baby first, before fatally wounding Good.
Two brothers who were at the centre described how one of the wounded mum’s last actions was to try to save her child’s life by trusting the baby to them.
“The baby got stabbed,” the two men told 9News.
“The mum got stabbed and the mum came over with the baby and threw it at me and (I) was holding the baby,” he said.
Other witness said they were trying to compress both the mum and baby’s wounds to stem the bleeding until help arrived.
“There’s a lot of blood on the floor… I hope the baby is alright,” they said.
Good was taken to hospital, but later died.
Her child underwent surgery overnight, and was last said to be in a serious but stable condition.
