News reports indicate that at least one of the alleged Bondi Beach shooters has been identified as Naveed Akram, a man in his mid‑20s from the Sydney suburb of Bonnyrigg, but police have not yet publicly clarified whether he was the gunman killed at the scene or the one now in critical condition.
Current identification
Several major outlets, citing senior law‑enforcement sources, have named 25‑year‑old Naveed Akram of Bonnyrigg as one of the suspects involved in the Hanukkah event shooting at Bondi Beach. Police statements so far confirm that one alleged attacker was shot dead and another is in critical condition in custody, but formal public identification of which is Akram has not yet been made.
Number of attackers
Authorities say the attack involved at least two gunmen, with ongoing investigation into whether additional accomplices or a possible third shooter were involved. One suspect was killed during the incident and another remains hospitalized under guard, and investigators are still piecing together their exact roles and movements.
Situation is evolving
As of the latest updates, police and counterterrorism agencies are still investigating motive, confirming identities, and determining possible wider links, including whether the attack was coordinated beyond the two main suspects. Because information is changing quickly, later official briefings from New South Wales Police or government authorities may refine or correct the early identifications reported by media.
