Twelve people were dead after a shooting Sunday at Sydney’s Bondi beach, police told AFP, without saying if that toll includes a shooter.
National broadcaster ABC reported that one of the shooters was among the dead and that 12 additional people were wounded.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said a shooting Sunday at Sydney’s Bondi beach was “shocking and distressing”.
“Police and emergency responders are on the ground working to save lives. My thoughts are with every person affected,” Albanese said in a statement shared by his office.
“I urge people in the vicinity to follow information from the (New South Wales) Police,” he said.
A British tourist told AFP he saw “two shooters in black” after gunfire broke out Sunday at Australia’s famed Bondi Beach, with officials reporting two people in detention and multiple injuries.
“There was a shooting, two shooters in black with semi-automatic rifles,” Timothy Brant-Coles told AFP from the Sydney tourist hotspot, reporting multiple people had been shot and wounded.
