Australia suffered one of the deadliest massacres in its modern history on Sunday when two gunmen opened fire on a Jewish celebration at Bondi in Sydney. At least 16 people died, including one of the alleged gunmen, with more than 40 left wounded. The victims include a 10-year-old child, a Holocaust survivor and a London-born rabbi. 
The alleged gunmen behind the attack are a father-son duo, suspected of using legally obtained firearms to commit the massacre. Naveed Akram, 24, was known to New South Wales police and security agencies and had been linked with an Islamic State cell. 
The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, is facing questions about gun law reform and security failings as Australians reel from the attack.

At about 5pm, the “Chanukah by the Sea” event begins at Archer Park, a small, grassy area at the back of Bondi beach. The park is just north of Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving club, and has several small shelters for picnics and a children’s playground. Chanukah by the Sea is a regular event for Bondi’s large Jewish community, to mark the beginning of the religious festival. The event has been advertised on social media.

Video from the event shows a carnival atmosphere, with families in attendance and activities for kids, including a petting zoo.

The killing went on so long, those fleeing had time to scream “they’re reloading” as they scrambled for any place of safety they could find.

Those who could not were pitilessly gunned down.
