Australia suffered one of the deadliest massacres in its modern history on Sunday when two gunmen opened fire on a Jewish celebration at Bondi beach in Sydney. At least 16 people died, including one of the alleged gunmen, with more than 40 wounded. The victims include a 10-year-old child, a Holocaust survivor and a London-born rabbi. The alleged gunmen behind the attack are a father and son, who are suspected of using legally obtained firearms to commit the massacre. One of the suspects, Naveed Akram, 24, was known to New South Wales police and security agencies. The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, is facing questions about gun law reform and security failings as the country reels from the attack. Lucy Hough talks to the Guardian Australia senior reporter Ben Doherty – watch on YouTube. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

  • ambulance sirens, community WhatsApp groups lit up basically saying something's happening at Bondi,

  • don't come to Bondi.

  • There has been a devastating terrorist incident at Bondi.

  • This is a targeted attack on Jewish Australians, an act of evil anti-Semitism,

  • terrorism that has struck the heart of our nation.

  • There are many communities here who are really suffering who are deeply traumatised and will take years to reconcile and understand what's happened here,

  • in particular of course the Jewish community.

  • What do we know so far about the shocking anti-Semitic terror attack at Bondi Beach?

  • Ben, thanks so much for joining us.

  • I know it's late where you are.

  • Tell me about when you realised that something serious was going on.

  • Hi Lucy, yes I do live very close.

  • I live at the south end of Bondi Beach.

  • I think you can see the beach in the darkness behind me.
