A terrorist attack at Australia's famous Bondi Beach has killed at least 11 people and injured 29 others. The gunmen targeted a Jewish group celebrating Hanukah on Sunday evening.
Authorities say two attackers fired on the crowd from a bridge. One gunman is dead and another is critically injured. Police found a car with explosive devices nearby and are searching for a possible third suspect.
The attack happened at a location packed with families. Witnesses described parents running with children and elderly people struggling to escape. Officials credit a bystander who wrestled a gun from an attacker with preventing more deaths.
The shooting has caused deep fear within the Jewish community. It occurred during Hanukah, a major Jewish holiday, shattering the peace of the iconic beach.
