Bondi Beach shooting suspects
Police and major news outlets report that the attack was carried out by two gunmen who were a 50‑year‑old father and his 24‑year‑old son. New South Wales Police say the 50‑year‑old father was shot dead by police at the scene, while the 24‑year‑old son was critically injured and taken into custody under police guard.
A law‑enforcement source and international media have identified the 24‑year‑old son as Naveed Akram, a Pakistani national living in Sydney’s south‑west, though officials have not yet clearly stated whether he is the deceased or surviving shooter. Authorities have described the incident as a terrorist attack that deliberately targeted a Jewish Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.
