News saying 1 shooter dead and 1 arrested

[Arrivalist]

Sky reporting that two are in custody.

[ALawson]

Twitter saying 3 maybe dead, by all accounts some form of festival.

[butchstewie]

Some videos on X of the two shooters looking either pretty dead or down (one them takes a nice boot to the head from a pissed off Aussie) and in custody.

Apparently it was a Hanukkah celebration so the automatic leap there is it's going to be it's going to be an antisemitic terror attack.

[Arrivalist]

Hanukkah party, according to some news outlets.

[Joscal]

Dreadful.

I hope this is not the motivation I really do. Too early to say but killing innocent people won't make the situation in Gaza any better.

I would guess this is a trustworthy news site: https://www.news.com.au/

Says 10 confirmed dead. Horrible.

Indeed, there is obviously antisemitic hate involved but is it Palestinian sympathisers or our rather hateful neo Nazis who have been getting ever more vocal in Sydney and Melbourne in particular

[butchstewie]

Always cautious of misinformation but from some of the videos and stills on X it isn't neo-nazis.

Absolutely appalling.

The guy in the video on the link above needs a fking medal.

Just seen a video on X of a bystanding charging at one of the gunmen and taking his rifle from him.
Amazing bravery!

Based on video footage on X I don't think this is a neo nazi group but still not confirmed.

This guy deserves a beer.

I don't understand why the guy who wrestled the gun off him didn't shoot the gunman.

Because real life isn't a video game and most people aren't wired that way.

It'll all come out.

Some absolutely insane drone footage of both the shooters being taken out but also some horrific stuff where you kind of think and hope people would show some decency as you've probably got people finding out their relatives are injured or dead via X.

I'd have thrown the gun away ASAP, he could easily be mistaken for one of the attackers by police arriving at the scene.

What an absolute hero.

He seemed very composed, wrestled his gun and then pointed it at him until he retreated whilst hand in the air to show he wasn't a terrorist.

Crazy scenes, and 9 dead confimed so far.

Beers to the bald Aussie who stamped on the terrorists head whilst he was down in cuffs.

I always find the police have such incredible restraint (in most places other than the US as we know) that they've arrested these terrorists, who have killed their own people and they don't cave their heads in on the tarmac.

That was incredible. He wasn't small but the shooter was a big bloke. He must have been tempted to hold the shooter there at gunpoint but did the right thing by then putting the gun down, to prevent being shot by police. Brave, intelligent response.

Because there was another shooter not far away preparing to take a shot at him.
