Australian Police: Bondi Beach Shooting Suspect Received Firearms Training From Father

MELBOURNE, Australia: According to Australian police documents made public on Monday, a guy who is suspected of killing fifteen people at Sydney’s Bondi Beach trained with firearms with his father in a part of New South Wales state outside of Sydney.

According to the records, which were made public after Naveed Akram appeared in video court from a Sydney hospital where he was receiving treatment for an abdominal injury, the two men filmed footage that justified the carefully planned attack.

Officers killed his father, 50-year-old Sajid Akram, and injured Akram at the scene of the shooting on December 14. Naveed Akram was moved from a hospital to a prison on Monday, according to the state government. The authorities identified neither facility.

According to the documents, the 24-year-old and his father started their attack by hurling four homemade explosives at a group of people attending a yearly Jewish festival at Bondi Beach. However, the devices did not detonate. Three aluminum pipe bombs and a tennis ball bomb with explosives, gunpowder, and steel ball bearings were identified by the police. Police called them “viable” IEDs even though none of them exploded.

Before leaving at 2:16 a.m. on the day of the attack, the two had been renting a room in the Sydney suburb of Campsie for three weeks. They were seen on CCTV carrying what police claim were two shotguns, a rifle, five IEDs, and two blanket-wrapped, homemade Daesh organization flags.
