Police say one shooter, 50, was also killed at the scene, while another, his 24-year-old son, sustained “critical” injuries and remains in hospital.

Authorities have designated the shooting a “terrorist” incident, saying it was “designed to target Sydney’s Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah.”

A video shows a man, identified as “hero” shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, disarming one of the attackers.
