Indecision whether Countdown LynnMall will open tomorrow, a week after a violent terrorist attack.

A Sri Lankan national on a terror-watchlist was gunned down at the store last Friday when he attacked shoppers with a knife.

Seven were injured - three critically.

The man had been under Police surveillance since 2016, because of concerns about his Isis-inspired views.

Countdown corporate affairs general manager Kiri Hannifan says they'll see how staff feel about opening.

She says they may open tomorrow - or not, and are taking things slowly to ensure they do the right thing for staff and the community.
