Law enforcement added they "are confident there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event last week."

Six individuals were detained in the aftermath of the incident, with two—one male and one female—arrested in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday night.

The next day, detectives stated they had been given additional time to question the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."

On midweek, authorities stated they too were scheduled for release but clarified that "was not an indication the probe was complete."

Also on that day, authorities disclosed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the group identifying as IS.

Mr Daulby suffered a gunshot wound after armed officers arrived at the scene and fatally shot the attacker fatally.

A police bullet also struck a different individual, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
