At least 12 people have died in Australia after a shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday, which authorities have said was a terrorist attack against the Jewish community. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns confirmed in a press conference that one of the gunmen was dead, and another was in custody. Police said earlier on Sunday that the second shooter was in critical condition after being injured. A total of 29 people were injured, including two police officers, according to the last update from authorities on Sunday. New South Wales Police have said the number of casualties is expected to change as the operation continues. Police added that they had found what they believe to be several improvised explosive devices in a car nearby, and bomb disposal units are working to make them safe. Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon confirmed that the deceased offender had been known to the authorities, but there had been no "specific threat".
