A peaceful Hanukkah celebration turned tragic Sunday night as at least 10 people were killed in a mass shooting at Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach. Police confirm the gunman is among the dead, with 16 others hospitalized in what witnesses describe as “chaos straight from a nightmare.” 🚨
The violence erupted around 6:40 PM local time when two armed men opened fire on crowds gathered for the Jewish Festival of Lights. Video footage shows panicked beachgoers fleeing as gunshots echoed across the sand. 🏃♂️💥
Nine Network reports up to 20 people may have been shot during the attack. Two police officers were injured while responding, and a second suspect remains hospitalized under guard. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward. 🚔🔍
As Sydney grapples with one of its worst mass shootings in recent history, community leaders call for unity. “This was meant to be a night of light,” said local rabbi David Cohen, “but darkness found us instead.” 🕯️
