At least 16 people are dead after a father and his son opened fire at Sydney‘s famous Bondi beach on Sunday night where a Jewish Hannukkah celebration was underway.

The two gunmen stood on a footbridge connecting Campbell Parade to the Bondi Pavilion, firing shots into a crowd as people screamed and sprinted for cover.

A number of people could be seen lying injured and unmoving on the grass at North Bondi.
