Police said on Monday morning local time that two gunmen — a 50-year-old father and his 24-year-old son — opened fire at Bondi Beach while the local Jewish community was celebrating the first night of Hanukkah. The 50-year-old gunman died and his son was hospitalized in "serious condition," New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said.
The 24-year-old was identified as Naveed Akram, a Pakistani national based in Sydney, according to a U.S. intelligence briefing and a driver's license provided by Australian police. Police previously said the deceased gunman was the son, but Lanyon later clarified that the father was shot and killed by police.
