Ten people are dead, including one shooter, after gunshots were fired at Bondi beach in Sydney on Sunday evening. Here’s what we know so far:

Police have confirmed 10 people have been killed in a mass shooting at Bondi beach on Sunday evening, including one shooter.
Police responded to reports of multiple gunshots early in the evening.
Shortly before 8pm they said they had two people in custody and the active shooters had been “neutralised”.
The New South Wales Ambulance service said it was called to the area at 6.45pm after reports of multiple people being shot. It later confirmed six people had been taken to local hospitals.
Video shared online from the scene showed people fleeing the beach, and distressing scenes of people lying on the ground receiving treatment.
An event celebrating the Jewish festival of Hanukkah was taking place on the beach at the time of the shooting.

Whoever he is, he's a massive hero who prevented more deaths.

6. Here's a link to the ABC's coverage.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-14/active-shooter-bondi-beach-sydney-nsw/106141580 They do the best coverage of things.

Some of the footage being shown is pretty confronting.

9. WOW is right... A real hero there..

11. He took the weapon from him pretty effectively - but had no one seen that he was the hero, he could have risked being

…shot at by law enforcement if they didn’t realize he was in fact a hero holding the gunman as he pointed the rifle at the gunman

12. Had the same thought

Brave man

14. Holy shit.

THAT’S how it’s done!

5 bucks that dude was a rugby player.

The video cuts. Does he manage to put a “pill” in the terrorist?

[RoseTrellis]

16. Nope

The terrorist walked away from that encounter, rejoined his buddy, picked up another shotgun and resumed shooting.

17. I did! Local Muslim man

Talk about brave. And, he wss shot twice by the other gunman.

8. Ohhhh! Australia too. I hate to say that I've come to expect it in this country...but guns in Australia?

I thought they might be able to avoid the worst of what we experience, given rational gun policies.

and love to all impacted, just as I send it to all of our wounded and families of those killed from the latest university shooting at Brown. Insanity that finds its own incitement in our horrendously violent world today.

13. We visited Bondi Beach in 2023

The last day of our Australia/Tasmania/NZ vacation before flying back to the U.S. was spent at Bondi Beach. We walked through the wonderful Pavillion there and marveled at the public access to this beautiful place! Hate has no business there!
