Deadly Shooting Rocks Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Ten people were killed and several others injured in a shooting at the famous Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.
According to New South Wales Police, two people have been detained, while a security operation is still underway in the area and citizens have been instructed to stay away from Bondi Beach.
Police said in a statement on the social media platform X that the situation is not completely under control, so the public should be careful. According to local media reports, several people were injured as a result of the shooting, while television channels broadcast scenes in which people fell to the ground and rescue operations were underway.
Eyewitness to the incident, 30-year-old Harry Wilson, told a local newspaper that he saw at least 10 people lying on the ground and blood was splattered everywhere.

In videos circulating on social media, people can be seen running after the sounds of gunfire on Bondi Beach, while police sirens can also be heard. Another video showed two people being held to the ground by police on a footbridge, one of whom was being treated for medical treatment.
A spokesman for Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the government was aware of the security situation at Bondi Beach and urged the public to follow police instructions.
The incident is reminiscent of the terrorist attack at Sydney’s Lindt Cafe almost 11 years ago, where a gunman took 18 people hostage and killed two hostages and the attacker after a long siege.
While earlier the Australian government blocked social media for under-16s.
