Bondi shooting: How shooters carried out deadly terror attack

Home Affairs minister Tony Burke has been met with shouts of “shame on you,” and “blood on your hands,” as he paid his respects to the 15 innocent victims of the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach.

A vigil was held outside the Bondi Pavillion on Monday night to honour the lives lost in Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in decades.

Father and son Naveed Akram, 24, and Sajid Akram, 50, opened fire on a Jewish Hanukkah event shortly before 7pm on Sunday.

The 50-year-old was shot and killed by police, while the 24-year-old was shot before being taken into custody in a critical condition.

The death toll on Monday rose to 16, including a girl, 10, and man, 40, who both died in hospital.

NSW Police said the dead range in age from 10 to 87 years.

A further 26 people remain in hospital, including seven in a critical condition and seven in a critical but stable condition as of Monday night. Two injured police officers are in a serious but stable condition.

The incident had been designated as terrorism.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the massacre “evil anti-Semitism” and “an attack on our way of life”.

“There is no place for this hate violence and terrorism in our nation,” he said. “Let me be clear, we will eradicate it.”
