"Two gunmen shot dead nine people on Sunday at Sydney's Bondi Beach, police said. One gunman was fatally shot by police and the second arrested. The suspect was in critical condition, authorities said. A massive emergency response was underway, with injured people loaded into ambulances. Eleven people were confirmed wounded, according to a statement by police in New South Wales state, where Sydney is located. Two of those hurt were police officers."
"Police said their operation was "ongoing" and that a "number of suspicious items located in the vicinity" were being examined by specialist officers. Dramatic footage apparently filmed by a member of the public and broadcast on Australian television channels showed someone appearing to tackle and disarm one of the gunmen, before pointing the man's weapon at him. Emergency services were called to Campbell Parade about 6.45 p.m. responding to reports of shots being fired, police said."

One gunman was fatally shot by police and the other was arrested and reported in critical condition. A massive emergency response treated and loaded injured people into ambulances while specialist officers examined suspicious items found nearby. Hundreds had gathered for Chanukah by the Sea, a Hanukkah festival event. Dramatic footage showed a bystander tackling and disarming an attacker. Authorities characterized the scenes as deeply distressing, and the prime minister said responders were working to save lives.
