Members of the public look at the scene at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, after a mass shooting on Sunday. “I must have heard, I don’t know, maybe, like, 40, 50 shots.”Eyewitnesses described having nowhere to go and feeling confused during the shooting at Bondi Beach on Sunday evening. Olivia Matis had been out for a run in the evening along the Bondi Beach promenade. “There was just shots, shots, shots and I thought no way there’s a shooter but I ran and just sprinted. I’d been for a swim down at Bondi Beach 20 minutes earlier – the same place that police cars howling past me seemed to be headed.
