New South Wales Police say 11 people have been killed in a shooting at Bondi Beach targeting the Jewish community, with 29 taken to hospital - including a child
An event being held at the beach to mark the start of Hanukkah had more than 1,000 in attendance, police say
A rescue bomb disposal unit has also been deployed after police found a vehicle which they believe has several improvised explosive devices
Mass shootings are rare in Australia, and that makes the incident "more shocking", New South Wales Premier Chris Minns says
One gunman has also been killed and a second suspect is in critical condition, police say
Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese describes the attack as "an act of evil antisemitism, terrorism that has struck the heart of our nation"

We've just heard from New South Wales authorities on the incident at Bondi Beach - here's what we've learned:
The death toll has risen to 12, Premier Chris Minns said, adding that the attack was "designed to target Sydney's Jewish community"
Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon officially declared it as a "terrorist incident", adding that there were well over 1,000 people at the site, many celebrating the Jewish festival of Hanukkah
Lanyon said 29 people have been taken to hospital, including a child - among them are two police officers who are in "serious, verging on critical" condition and both are in surgery
Of the two gunmen, one is dead and the other is "in a serious condition in hospital", Lanyon said
Police are not releasing information on the gunmen at this time - but Lanyon added they are investigating if a third gunman was involved
Police found an "improvised explosive device in a car which is linked to the deceased offender" - a rescue bomb disposal unit is at the scene in Campbell Parade in Bondi
Minns paid tribute to a man filmed wrestling with one of the suspected attackers and taking his gun away
