What we learned during the press conferences

Here’s the latest from NSW police, the NSW premier, Chris Minns, and the prime minister:

Twelve people are confirmed dead, including one gunman. Police described the figures as an evolving situation. Twenty-nine people have been transported to area hospitals in a range of conditions but officials described the injuries as serious. That figure includes two police officers.

Chris Minns and Anthony Albanese described the shooting as a targeted attack on the Jewish community during the first day of Hanukah. The NSW police commissioner, Mal Lanyon, has designated the shooting a terrorist incident.

Lanyon said the gunmen used long arms. Police are investigating what’s believed to be several improvised explosive devices in a vehicle at Bondi beach. Both Minns and Albanese have vowed to support the Jewish community and eradicate hate.
