News reports from officials in New South Wales say that 12 people have been confirmed dead in the Bondi Beach shooting, including one of the gunmen.
Current confirmed toll
Police and state authorities now state that twelve people have died following the mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, counting one of the alleged attackers among the dead. In addition, roughly 29 others have been reported injured and taken to various hospitals, including at least two police officers.
Why numbers differ
Some early reports mentioned 9, 10, or 11 dead as the situation was still unfolding and information was incomplete. Later official updates from New South Wales Police and Australian outlets have converged on 12 deaths as the current confirmed figure.
