Bondi Attack: Terror & Bravery

A Jewish celebration on Bondi Beach ends in tragedy when two gunmen kill fifteen people. This is the story of Australia’s deadliest shooting in decades: how it unfolded, and a hero’s courage.

It was supposed to be a family event to celebrate the Jewish festival of Hanukkah on Sydney's Bondi Beach. As more than a thousand people gathered on the famous Australian beach, few could imagine the horror about to happen. Two gunmen, a father and son, fire repeatedly into the crowd. Fifteen people, including a child, are killed in the anti-Semitic terror attack. This is the story of what happened, the bravery of hero bystanders and the response to the country's deadliest shooting in almost thirty years.
