Death toll rises to 11 in Sydney terror attack targeting Jewish community Hanukkah event

Police say the death toll has risen to 11 in the shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, with the attack designated as a “terror incident” targeting the Australian Jewish community.

Mal Lanyon, the chief of New South Wales police, says that in addition one of the gunmen was killed on the scene. A second suspect has been arrested.

“As a result of the circumstances of the incident… I declared this to be a terrorist incident,” Lanyon says.

NSW Premier Chris Minns says the “incident represents some of our worst fears about terrorism.”
