What happened: At 6:47pm on Sunday, December 14, police received reports of a shooting at Archer Park in north Bondi.
The park was hosting a “Chanukah by the Sea” event celebrating the first day of the Jewish festival.
Sixteen people, including one of the shooters, have died since the attack while 20 remain in hospital.
More facts: One of the two shooters, a 50 year-old-man, was shot dead at Bondi by police.
The other shooter, his 24-year-old son, was taken to hospital and has now woken from a coma.
Police have said he will likely face charges, but it's unclear when they may be laid.
Police discovered improvised explosive devices at the scene and two homemade ISIS flags.
The pair travelled to the Philippines last month.
The Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett told the Sydney Morning Herald the “early indications” from police investigations pointed to “a terrorist attack inspired by Islamic State”.
Gun licence: The deceased shooter’s gun licence was first applied for in 2015 but lapsed in 2016, due to not having a photograph.
He did not hold a licence again until a 2020 application was granted in 2023.
The six firearms that have been seized were legally registered under that licence.
Police aren’t looking for any other offenders, believing only the two men were involved in the attack.
Associations: On Monday the Prime Minister confirmed the surviving shooter, aged 24, was investigated by ASIO for 6 months in October 2019.
“He was examined on the basis of being associated with others and the assessment was made that there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence.” the PM said.
Not confirmed: Police and ASIO are both still investigating why the father and son went to the Philippines and where they traveled while there.
The Prime Minister confirmed on Monday ASIO investigated the 24-year-old for "associations with others”, but hasn't confirmed exactly who.
What you can still do: 50,000 blood donation appointments have been made in NSW following the attack.
Despite the fivefold increase, blood is still needed. Trauma patients may require up to 100 individual blood donations
Thinking critically: Curtin University journalism academic Dr Glynn Greensmith told the ABC we shouldn’t be digging through every post or detail of the shooter’s life, because that “does their job for them” by giving attention to someone who intended harm.
Greensmith said asking why the attack happened is a valid question, but the answer isn’t something we will know immediately.
🗣️ “It takes six months of all the experts examining all of the evidence and when that kind of information comes out, that’s a valid thing to talk about.”
Instead, Greensmith said we should be focusing our energy on sharing the stories of the heroes and victims of the attack.
Wish him well: “The hero” Ahmed al Ahme, who disarmed one of the shooters, is undergoing surgery Wednesday after meeting with both the Premier and Prime Minister.

Another hero: 22 year old Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert was shot in the head and shoulder while on duty, patrolling the Hanukkah celebration.
Only in the force for four months, Hibberts has undergone and survived multiple surgeries, however he has lost sight in one of his eyes and he now faces a long and challenging recovery with more surgeries needed.
