At least 11 people are dead and 24 injured following a targeted attack against a Jewish community in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, prompting a major response from law enforcement, politicians and religious leaders in NYC. According to reports, two gunmen opened fire from a bridge near the city's popular Bondi Beach to shoot at people attending a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on Dec. 14. More than 1,000 people were said to be at the gathering. Authorities have already called the horrific incident a terrorist attack.

As many as 100 shots rang out between 7.45pm and 9.30pm on Sunday night in Croydon Park. Streets were closed and the area was placed in lockdown as police launched a major operation after reports a man was indiscriminately firing at motorists, including police cars, travelling along Georges River Road. The tactical police unit was called in to arrest a 60-year-old man from a unit above a business along the busy road.
