"The killing went on so long, those fleeing had time to scream they're re-loading as they scrambled for any place of safety they could find. Those who could not were pitilessly gunned down. I saw children being targeted, one man, who declined to give his name, told the Guardian. I saw old people who couldn't move being shot. It was a massacre. There was blood everywhere. It's unbelievable. This doesn't happen here. Not here."
"At least twelve people were killed, and nearly 30 were in hospital following a mass shooting at Sydney's famed Bondi Beach on Sunday, a terrorist attack described by the prime minister as an act of evil antisemitism, terrorism that has struck the heart of this nation.

"Amid the unspeakable terror, extraordinary acts of bravery. A phone-shot video swings from a prone body lying in the street to an unarmed man, dressed in white, creeping up behind a gunman. The unarmed man lunges at the unsighted gunman's arms and neck, wrenching the long weapon from his hands and turning it towards him, menacing the now disoriented terrorist with the firearm, before placing the weapon by a tree. The terrorist stumbles backwards."
