Live: Shooting tribute at Syndey’s Bondi Beach – Bondi Beach

Police in Australia say they found explosives and home made Islamic State flags in the car used by the two gunmen at Bondi Beach.

Police described the attack as a terrorist incident targeting the Jewish community. They allege the attack carried out by Sajid Akram, 50, and his 24-year-old son, Naveed Akram.

A couple killed in the Bondi Beach shooting tried to stop one of the alleged attackers by grabbing his gun, dramatic dashcam footage shows.

Boris Gurman, 69, and his wife Sofia, 61, courageously stepped in to try and protect others before being shot themselves, their family said in a statement.

Video of the incident shows Mr Gurman, retired, wrestling with one of the gunmen and taking the weapon off him, before they both fall onto the road.

Mr Gurman then gets up and appears to hit the attacker with the gun. The attackeris then thought to have got another gun which he used to kill them.

“While nothing can lessen the pain of losing Boris and Sofia, we feel an overwhelming sense of pride in their bravery and selflessness,” the couple’s family said.

At least 15 people killed and dozens injured.

The ages of the victims range from 10 to 87 years of age.

The alleged shooters appear to have been motivated by Islamic State (IS) ideology, authorities said. Police found “homemade” IS group flags and improvised explosive devices in the vehicle used by the suspects.
