All We Know About Bondi Beach Killers Sajid and Naveed Akram - Birmingham Live

At least 16 killed and about 40 injured during a Hanukkah celebration; one gunman died at the scene and the other is in hospital, police said.

  • On Sunday, a mass anti-Semitic shooting at Bondi Beach killed 16 and injured about 40 near a Hanukkah gathering; Sajid Akram died at the scene, and Naveed Akram was wounded and hospitalized.
  • Records show the father, Sajid Akram, legally held six firearms under a Category AB licence and police say those guns were brought to the scene Sunday, while authorities investigate Naveed Akram's alleged links to Islamic State.
  • Footage shows the pair atop a Campbell Parade footbridge around 6.30 pm; police recovered a rifle and shotgun, found suspicious items in a car, and Ahmed al-Ahmed wrestled a weapon from a gunman.
  • Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the attack `an act of antisemitic terrorism` and `pure evil`, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticised his response and mourners set up a Bondi pavilion memorial guarded by police and private Jewish security guards.
  • Police raided the Akrams' Bonnyrigg home and a Campsie rental as investigations continued, with officials saying the attack is the worst since the 1996 Port Arthur killings and among the most serious antisemitic incidents since October 2023 Gaza war.
