"Twelve people are dead after gunmen fired dozens of shots into crowds of people at Bondi Beach on Sunday.

Here is what we know so far.

Gunshots fired on Sunday evening
Residents reported police cars streaming into Bondi Beach around 6.40pm (AEDT). Multiple gunshots were heard, and hundreds of people could be seen running near Campbell Parade.

Vision shows at least two men clad in black firing what appeared to be rifles from the pedestrian bridge that links Campbell Parade and Bondi Pavilion.

How many people were killed?
NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon announced just after 10pm that at least 11 people had been killed by the gunmen. One of the shooters was also killed.

It was earlier reported that the total number was 10.

Was there an event being held at the time?
Sunday marked the first evening of Hanukkah, the Jewish holiday. The shooters were seen close by to the Chanukah by the Sea festival, where Jewish Sydneysiders had gathered to celebrate the holiday.

What do we know about the shooters?
One shooter was shot dead by police. A second shooter was taken into police custody.

Where at Bondi Beach did the shooting take place?
And this shows where the incident unfolded within the broader context of Bondi:

Was this a terrorism incident?
Lanyon declared it a terrorism incident.

NSW Police say there is no ongoing threat to the community.

How did police respond?
Multiple police vehicles and dozens of officers mobilised to Bondi Beach in response to the shooting.

Police were later believed to be raiding an address in Bonnyrigg in Sydney’s west following the attack.

What have people said about it?
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned it as an “act of evil antisemitism”.

“An attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian,” he said.

NSW Premier Chris Minns described it as a “horrifying, evil attack”.

“Our heart bleeds for Australia’s Jewish community tonight,” Minns said.

“I can only imagine the pain that they’re feeling right now, to see their loved ones killed as they celebrate this ancient holiday.”

NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said more than 1000 people were celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach.

“As a result of the circumstances of the incident tonight, at 9:36pm this evening, I declared this to be a terrorist incident.”

Key points

Well done to the guy who disarmed one of the terrorists today at Bondi. Looks like he got shot by the one on the bridge for his troubles.

Worrying to hear that one of the terrorists was "known to Police" and even more worrying that he was "known to ASIO"  

Worrying to hear that ASIO reckons we are at a "Probable terrorist attack" setting and even more worrying that that means a 50% chance of a terrorist attack.  

Does that mean we should expect an attack every second day?

And here’s the lesson. My hubby was saying “shoot him!”
I’m saying, but then he will be deemed as a killer.
He should’ve told the gunman to get on the ground and make a citizens arrest but let him walk instead!

I agree with what Grappler said earlier, to shoot the terrorist in the leg/legs to disable him from doing more harm.
That’s a huge lesson right there.

Muslims have a religious duty to kill Jews if you object to this a leftist useful idiot or a muslim might call you an Islamophobe.

2 muslims do a terrorist attack killing Jews at Bondi and what is their response?

Yup - don't shoot to kill him - just take him out of action.  If he bleeds to death before the Ambos arrive - tough.  Bastard went to the bridge and took up a reserve firearm... should've taken him down to stay.

Remember my tale of NYE at Darling Harbour when a 5T's gang member was stabbed and the Ambos arrived?  Remember how blase` they were as we opened the gate for them ... took their time...

ISLAMIC law makes it lawful for the follower of ISLAM,
to kill those who reject [i.e. 'insult'] ISLAM
[i.e. persons who reject ISLAM's authority over their lives].

ISLAMIC LAW....
"Ibn 'Umar related that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said, "I have been ordered to kill the people until they testify that there is no god except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer and pay the zakah. If they do that, their blood and wealth are protected from me save by the rights of Islam. Their reckoning will be with Allah." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) "

ISLAMIC LAW....
"Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet said: "The bare essence of Islam and the basics of the religion are three [acts], upon which Islam has been established. Whoever leaves one of them becomes an unbeliever and his blood may legally be spilled. [The acts are:] Testifying that there is no God except Allah, the obligatory prayers, and the fast of Ramadan."...."
