Anthony Albanese, Australian PM, “shocking and distressing”: How many people have been injured at Bondi Beach mass shooting?

Sunday evening two gunmen opened fire on crowds at the famous Bondi Beach south of Sydney, Australia. There are reports of multiple people injured, including two police officers, and at least twelve fatalities, including one of the suspected shooters.
