The names of the assailants have not been disclosed to the public yet.

Authorities were aware of one of the shooters, though they did not consider him an immediate danger, according to NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon and ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess.

The exact hospital where the surviving gunman is receiving treatment remains unknown, but officials have reported that he is in critical condition.

Initially, there were speculations about a possible third shooter; however, police later confirmed that only two individuals were involved.

There had been reports that there may have been a third shooter, but police eventually clarified that there were only two gunmen.

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).
