At least 16 people have been killed and dozens injured after two gunmen opened fire on a Jewish holiday event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday, in what officials have described as the deadliest mass shooting to hit Australia in 30 years.
The shooting, which Australian authorities have declared a terror attack, targeted hundreds of people celebrating Hanukkah at the beach. One witness said people who were not part of the Hanukkah event were ushered aside by the shooters. The victims were aged between 10 and 87.
At least 40 people were confirmed wounded in the shooting, which began around 6.45 p.m. on Sunday at one of Sydney's most popular tourist destinations. One gunman was shot and a second was arrested.
An incredible part of the story is that it was an Arab passerby who intervened and took down one of the gunmen, at the cost of getting shot himself. Meanwhile people report how the police dove for cover and didn't seem to know what to do.
ReplyDeleteBut more important - this story overshadowed another horrible one - the shooting at Brown University the day before that targetted a pro-Israel Jewish professor.
Sadly, none of these could be blamed on Trump.
The Arab passerby didn't shoot the terrorist, unfortunately, and allowed him to join the other one and grab another gun. That is how he ended up getting shot it seems.
