Bondi beach terror attack: father and son duo alleged to be behind shooting using licensed firearms
"The pair allegedly killed 15 people, with dozens more injured in the shootings which took place on Sunday, during a gathering to celebrate the first night of Hanukah. The son was known to New South Wales police and security agencies, while his father had a firearms licence with six weapons registered to him. All six firearms have been recovered, police said."
"Four of these weapons, long arms believed to include a rifle and shotgun, were seized at the scene in Bondi, with other weapons also found during a police raid at a house in Campsie, in Sydney's south-west. The NSW police commissioner, Mal Lanyon, said the men had lived at another house in Bonnyrigg, in the city's west, which was also raided on Sunday night."
A father and son, aged 50 and 24, are alleged to have killed 15 people and injured dozens at Bondi Beach during a Hanukah first-night gathering. The older man was shot dead by police at the scene; the younger man, Naveed Akram, was arrested with critical injuries and taken to a Sydney hospital. The father held a Category AB firearms licence with six registered weapons; all six firearms have been recovered. Four long arms believed to include a rifle and shotgun were seized at Bondi; additional weapons were found during a Campsie raid and a Bonnyrigg search. Authorities say the younger man was known to police and security agencies, and the premier indicated likely changes to gun laws while police investigate potential licence and system failures.
