At least 10 killed in Hanukkah shooting at Australia's Bondi Beach
Ten people were killed and around a dozen wounded after two gunmen opened fire during a Jewish holiday event at Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday, Australian officials said.
One suspected gunman was dead and the other in a critical condition, while 11 injured people were taken to local hospitals, police in New South Wales state said. Two police officers were also among the injured.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the incident 'shocking and distressing', adding that 'emergency responders are on the ground and working to save lives'.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Jewish people who had gone to light the first candle of the Hanukkah holiday on the beach had been attacked.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said he was appalled by the shooting and that Australia's government must 'come to its senses' after countless warnings.
