Authorities have not yet disclosed the identities of the two individuals involved in the shooting.

According to NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon and ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess, one of the gunmen was already on the radar of law enforcement, although he was not deemed an immediate threat.

Details regarding the hospital where the surviving gunman has been admitted remain undisclosed, but police have confirmed that he is in critical condition.

Initial reports suggested the possibility of a third shooter; however, police have since confirmed that there were only two assailants.

ASIO, led by Director-General Mike Burgess, is actively investigating any associates of the attackers and is assessing potential threats from individuals with similar intentions.

Burgess said ASIO was urgently investigating anyone who knew the attackers and looking at whether there was “anyone who has similar intent”.

“It’s important to stress at this point that we have no indications to that fact, but that is something we have active investigations on,” Burgess said in a press conference.

Where are police investigating?

Officers swarmed on a property in Bonnyrigg in Sydney’s west in the hours immediately after the shooting.

The property was believed to be the home of one of the gunmen.

Streets were closed off as tactical teams and detectives surrounded the scene.

Large areas of Bondi Beach remained a crime scene through the night as forensic police gathered evidence.

Those devices were removed and the exclusion zone was scaled back but the area remained a crime scene.

Is there an ongoing threat?

Burgess said the national terrorism threat level remained as “probable”.

“I don’t see that changing at this stage,” he said on Sunday night.

“‘Probable’ means there is a 50 per cent chance of an act of terror and unfortunately we have seen that horrific act occur in Australia.”

NSW Police declared a terrorist incident, and those officers will be supported by Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).

California locals are terrified that a pair of New Zealand billionaire brothers who snapped up land after the devastating LA fires will turn beachfront lots into mega-mansions. The January 2025 blaze was the most destructive fire in Los Angeles history and burned down more than 6,800 homes and buildings across Southern California. Malibu alone saw roughly 720 properties turn to rubble in the infernos, and one year later, residents of the once-luxurious celebrity enclave claim they are struggling to compete with developers to rebuild. Toy tycoons Nick and Mat Mowbray purchased 16 wildfire-burned plots in Malibu using their tech company, which is investing in AI-designed mass-produced homes manufactured in China, according to KABC.
