In August 1997, Hoddle Street in Clifton Hill, Melbourne turned into a site of horrific violence when former Army cadet Julian Knight opened fire, resulting in the deaths of seven individuals and numerous injuries. He received a minimum sentence of 27 years, and despite various legal attempts for early release, the Victorian government has indicated that it is improbable he will ever be freed.
