00:0012 people were killed and about a dozen wounded when gunmen opened fire during a Jewish holiday
00:17event at Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday.
00:20New South Wales police said two people were taken into custody and one of at least two
00:25gunmen was among those killed.
00:27Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the incident shocking and distressing, adding
00:32that emergency responders are on the ground and working to save lives.
00:36I ran onto the beach, I guess everyone ran onto the beach.
00:40It was pretty terrifying.
00:43And, yeah, I eventually went back to see what was happening, a few people sort of helped
00:53a few old people get up and get out of there, but it was like, there were lots of bodies
00:57on the floor.
00:58At the time I was just on my sofa back at my apartment, we're currently staying on Campbell
01:02Bread.
01:03And at the time I was on the FaceTime with my family from back home, and I just was sat
01:09watching a bit of YouTube on FaceTime to them and I just heard what sounded like fireworks
01:13going off.
01:14And it was multiple, multiple going off.
01:16So I sort of opened the blinds to see what was going on and I just saw an older lady get
01:20shot and she was on the floor.
01:21So an older guy get shot, very badly injured on the left-hand side and I just saw a bunch
01:25of people screaming running towards me, I didn't know what was going on.
01:29Around a dozen victims were taken to local hospitals for further treatment.
01:33Police said specialist officers are examining several suspicious items in the area, and
01:38an exclusion zone has been set up.
01:41Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Jewish people who had gone to light the first Hanukkah
01:46candle on the beach were attacked by vile terrorists.
01:50An annual Chanukah by the Sea gathering, marking the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, was planned at
01:55the beach Sunday afternoon, though officials have not confirmed any possible anti-Semitic link.
