Mass shooting: Hanukkah event in Sydney, Australia killing 16

Sydney, Australia (CNN) — At least 16 people were killed in a terror attack on Sunday targeting the Jewish community celebrating the first night of Hannukah at Sydney’s famed Bondi Beach.

“In light of the horrific antisemitic terrorist attack that took place today in Sydney, Australia, during a celebration of the first night of Chanukah, the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis (JFGI) and the Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) stand united with our brothers and sisters around the world in grief and resolve.”

Around 1,000 people gathered on a grassy area at Archer Park when at least two gunman opened fire at 6:47 p.m. local time, sending panicked crowds running in all directions.

One suspect was killed at the scene, while the other was injured and taken into custody. Police believe a third suspect may have been involved, but they cautioned against speculation as investigations continue.

It’s Australia’s worst mass shooting since a massacre almost 30 years ago saw the country introduce some of the world’s toughest gun laws.
