The suspected shooters in the recent Australia incident at Bondi Beach have been identified as a father and son, with the son named in media reports as 24‑year‑old Pakistani national Naveed Akram. The father, reported to be 50 years old, was killed by police at the scene, while the son was shot, arrested, and is being treated in hospital.
What is publicly known
Police and government officials have stated that:
- The attack took place during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney and is being investigated as a terrorist incident.
- Authorities have said they are not seeking additional suspects beyond the father and son at this time.
- One of the men held multiple firearm licences, which has triggered renewed debate in Australia about gun laws and firearm licensing.
Limits and ongoing investigation
Full biographies and all details about the two men have not been released, and many aspects remain under active investigation by New South Wales Police and security agencies. Information may change as authorities complete identification, forensic work, and court processes, so any current description of “who they are” is necessarily incomplete and provisional.
