Police in Australia say they are responding to a developing incident at Sydney’s Bondi Beach after media outlets reported a shooting incident.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported multiple shots at the beach, but it was unclear whether anyone had been hit.

The New South Wales (NSW) police called on the public to avoid the area.

“Anyone at the scene should take shelter,” they posted on X.

A spokesperson for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the government was aware “of an active security situation in Bondi”.

“We urge people in the vicinity to follow information from NSW Police,” said the spokesperson.
