The alleged gunmen behind the Bondi beach attack are a father-son duo suspected of using legally obtained firearms to commit the massacre, according to police. His son, Naveed Akram, 24, was shot but survived. Naveed Akram reportedly told his family they were going away for a weekend trip when he left the small bungalow in Bonnyrigg where he lived, in Sydney’s far western suburbs. “[Naveed Akram] was examined on the basis of being associated with others and the assessment was made that there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence,” Mr Albanese said. Until recently, Naveed Akram had been working as a bricklayer.
