Police Raid Home in Bonnyrigg
Following the identification, police raided a residential property linked to Akram in Bonnyrigg. The raid was part of an ongoing investigation into the mass shooting that took place during a Jewish festival at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach.
Authorities have not publicly confirmed whether Akram was the gunman killed at the scene or the one who survived with critical injuries.
