The Sydney shooters being referred to in current news are the two men responsible for the mass shooting at Bondi Beach during a large Hanukkah celebration on 14 December 2025.
Identities
Reports from New South Wales Police and multiple major news outlets state that the alleged attackers were a 50‑year‑old father and his 24‑year‑old son from Sydney’s south‑west. The younger man has been named in Australian media as Naveed (or Naveiv) Akram, with his father also reported as one of the two suspected gunmen.
What happened
The two men opened fire near Bondi Beach at a Hanukkah event, killing at least 15–16 people, including one child and one of the gunmen, and injuring dozens more. One shooter was shot dead at the scene by police, while the other was critically injured and taken into custody under police guard.
How authorities describe them
Australian authorities and the prime minister have described the incident as a terrorist attack specifically targeting the Jewish community gathered for the festival. Police have said they are not currently looking for additional suspects and are investigating possible motives, links, and any support networks.
