The incident resulted in 42 people being hospitalized after a terrorist attack unfolded at the Hanukkah By The Sea celebration held at Bondi Beach. Sadly, two of the victims have succumbed to their injuries.

Among those injured are two police officers—a constable and a probationary constable—who serve across the Sydney city and eastern suburbs.

Two of the injured are police officers, a constable and a probationary constable based across Sydney city and eastern suburbs.

9News understands one officer has undergone surgery to his shoulder and eye at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and may lose sight in that eye.

The other officer remains in a critical condition at St Vincent’s Hospital.

NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said he has met with the families of the officers.

“Both sets of families are incredibly supportive of the support they are getting from the police family,” Lanyon said.

One of the terrorists responsible, Naveed Akram, 24, is in a critical condition in hospital under police guard.

Lanyon today suggested it is probable on the basis of his injuries, that he will survive to face criminal charges. 

The other shooter, his father Sajid Akram, is understood to have been shot dead by police.
