A man accused of killing 15 people at Sydney’s Bondi Beach allegedly conducted firearms training with his father.

Some of our guests were convinced the gunmen were about to come in and shoot all of us. We were extremely close – about 50 meters from the gunmen,” the mom-of-three told CNN on Tuesday, adding that they knew instantly it was a terror attack. After helping some of the people that bolted from the beach, they sheltered in the event hall together. Vanunu said she shuddered at the thought that “we would have been such an easy target, but they didn’t know.” · She added that the Bondi attack was shocking but, in some ways, unsurprising.

Police shot the father dead at the scene and wounded the son. The antisemitic attack at the start of the eight-day Hanukkah celebration was Australia's worst mass shooting since a lone gunman killed 35 people in Tasmania state in 1996.
