At the time of writing this is a developing story, and information can change rapidly.
AUSTRALIA has been rocked by a disgusting terrorist shooting at Bondi Beach in New South Wales yesterday, leaving at least 16 dead at the time of writing, including one shooter.
The shooters, a father-son pair, obtained their firearms legally.
The pair reportedly shot into a crowd celebrating the beginning of Hanukkah for up to ten minutes, killing many and wounding dozens, including a child aged just ten, and a Holocaust survivor.
The attack has understandably been condemned by all major and almost all minor groups in politics.
It is the second-largest mass shooting in Australian history, after only the Port Arthur Massacre, that saw large changes to gun legislation in the country.
The Prime Minister has promised to eradicate antisemitism in all of its forms.
The 'Israeli' government has utilised this horrible attack for political points, with Benjamin Netanyahu using it to condemn the recognition of a Palestinian state, an unrelated event from months ago.
In a show of immense bravery and heroism, Sydney fruit seller Ahmed El Ahmed tackled one shooter, wrestling his gun away from him. The actions of Ahmed El Ahmed cannot be understated, and the amount of lives he saved is immense.
