00:00Let's go back to Rex Quayle, who's on the scene down there at Bondi Beach.
00:04Rex, what do you have for us?
00:06Hello again. I've just been speaking with a few more people.
00:09I spoke to one gentleman who said he saw at least three people die in front of him.
00:16There's reports of four behind me.
00:19I'm not going to show it, but behind me in this scene,
00:22we can see what very much looks like someone that has passed away.
00:26Numbers are unconfirmed at this stage, but yes, we can confirm that there have been some deaths.
00:33And Rex, in the midst of this tragedy, we must presume at this stage
00:37that some young children have been caught up in this massacre.
00:41I can't confirm if any young children have been hit,
00:46but there were definitely children at this festival.
00:48That's a given. I saw families hugging each other in tears.
00:52There were kids crying about saying that they were trying to run away and flee the scene.
00:57I cannot confirm if any kids have been caught or hit or injured,
01:01but I can confirm that yes, there are some kids here.
01:03What it looks like is there were some kids on the festival,
01:06there were some kids' animation being played.
01:08So we heard one person say that it was a children's Jewish festival.
01:12Again, I don't have the absolute latest for you on that one,
01:16but that's what people have been telling me on the ground.
01:17And we're seeing pictures, Rex, of people fleeing the scene,
01:20running as far from Bondi Beach as they possibly can, as quickly as they can.
01:24But on the other side, I'm sure the police presence
01:27and the emergency services heading into that area must be overwhelming by now.
01:32Oh, everywhere. Everywhere.
01:34They've absolutely swarmed in this last 45 minutes to an hour.
01:37There are... There's too many to count.
01:40Too many to count.
01:41There are police, there are ambulance, there are trucks everywhere,
01:44there are paramedics, the lifesavers.
01:48They've been seeing people throwing on their life-saving stuff.
01:50It looks like some volunteer lifeguards who are, you know, just dining nearby.
01:54Volunteer ambos as well, coming out, throwing on their stuff.
01:58Yeah, it is absolutely everywhere.
02:00There is a serious, serious emergency response here.
02:03And if the gunman's intention was to create absolute fear
02:07and absolute loathing on what is a very famous stretch of Australian sand,
02:11it has been achieved this evening.
02:13It certainly seems that way, Mark.
02:17Again, cannot confirm a motive, cannot confirm anything else
02:21except for the fact that these two shooters shot on a sacred day,
02:25an important day, the Jewish community
02:26in one of the most populated Jewish areas of the city.
02:31Yes.
02:32Rex, thank you.
02:33Tom, this is not only sending shockwaves right through Sydney,
02:37right through Australia,
02:38but there'd be another reason why this massacre has taken place on Bondi Beach.
02:42It is perhaps the most famous stretch of sand anywhere in the world.
02:45Yeah, it's iconic.
02:47And if they are talking about that Hanukkah festival
02:52being the main target for these gunmen,
02:55it's also an incredibly important place for Jewish people to congregate
02:59who, you know, so many of them, thousands of Jewish people,
03:02live across Bondi and around that area.
03:04And it is iconic.
03:06You can see, I mean, I've seen videos
03:09and I've heard the gunshots ring out as well
03:11from, you know, several hundred metres away.
03:14And you can see people, there's one of those gunmen right now.
03:17You can see...
03:18If we can just go back to one of those videos
03:22where they're going over the bridge
03:23and just listen to those shots being fired out
03:27and the eerie sort of silence that follows.
03:44It's hard to believe that this is Bondi Beach.
03:46It's hard to believe this is Sydney.
03:48It's hard to believe this is Australia.
03:50I myself used to live down there for several years
03:52and I'm getting messages for people checking that I'm OK.
03:56I know several people who are living down there at the moment
03:59and I'm checking if they're OK.
04:02Unfortunately, we do know that not everyone is OK
04:06and it doesn't look like that everyone will get out of this safely.
04:11It is an incredibly horrific scene, as Rex has showed us as well,
04:15with several people being worked on, having their lives,
04:17trying to be saved by several paramedics on site.
04:21But some of those people might not be so lucky.
04:25And to just stroll into Bondi, at least two gunmen with a huge gun,
04:30lots of ammunition.
04:31You saw around their belts as well just how much ammunition they had.
04:34They clearly had a motivation in mind going to that,
04:40what we think is a Hanukkah festival.
04:42All of that ammunition you could see littered around them
04:45with backpacks and those ammunition belts as well.
04:47They came into this with a clearly pre-organised and pre-determined goal.
04:54And that looks like one of the RSLs or restaurants down at North Bondi,
04:59people taking cover.
05:00Obviously, just an incredibly shocking situation.
05:05Yeah, look at that sheer panic.
05:06And very sadly, the reports are just getting worse by the minutes.
05:10We are now hearing unconfirmed, but there have been multiple deaths,
05:14multiple people with critical injuries,
05:17and paramedics and emergency services are trying to save lives as we speak.
05:22But a number of lives have been lost, unconfirmed that number.
05:27But the reports coming in from Bondi Beach are getting worse.
05:30We'll see you next time.
05:50We'll see you next time.
05:50Bye.
