At least 15 people were left dead after a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, Australia, Sunday … and TMZ has disturbing video capturing the terrorist attack as it unfolded.
In the footage … beachgoers are seen shielding each other as shots ring out above them. Clutching chairs and anything they can to hide themselves from the attackers, families are heard screaming and frantically calling out to each other as the chaos rolls on.
Police sirens are heard faintly in the distance, but still too far away to offer any protection against the predators hunting them down.
As we reported … one of the gunmen was counted among the dead in what leaders called a cowardly and targeted attack on the Jewish community.
According to officials, the attackers positioned themselves on a pedestrian bridge overlooking Bondi Park before unleashing a hail of bullets onto the crowd gathered near the playground.
Police reportedly revealed one suspect had been on a watchlist, though not considered an immediate threat.
The surviving gunman was reportedly taken into custody and was hospitalized in critical condition.
The Washington Post reports a father and son are accused of committing the attack. According to the outlet, the father — a 50-year-old man — was the one who was killed, while his 24-year-old son was reportedly taken into custody.
