Sydney~ At least 10 people were shot dead after two gunmen opened fire at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday.

Another 12 people were wounded, and the other gunman was arrested, ABC reported, citing a police spokesperson on the scene.

The shooting took place on the first night of the eight-day Jewish festival Hanukkah. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the gunmen opened fire just after 6.30 pm (Australian time) when hundreds of people had gathered on the beach for a seaside event to mark the beginning of the Jewish festival. 

Videos circulating on X appeared to show people on Bondi Beach scattering, as shots and police sirens can be heard.
