11. Now 12 dead, including one of the gunmen; police investigating possibility of a third gunman

The NSW premier, Chris Minns, is speaking now. He just said at least 12 are dead:

This cowardly act of terrifying violence is shocking and painful to see, and represents some of our worst fears about terrorism in Sydney.

This attack was designed to target Sydney’s Jewish community. On the first day of Hanukah. What should have been a night of peace and joy, celebrated in that community with families and supporters, has been shattered by this horrifying, evil attack.
