Australian police documents released on Monday allege that the man accused of killing 15 people at Sydney’s Bondi Beach had previously conducted firearms training with his father in a regional area of New South Wales, outside metropolitan Sydney.
According to the documents, the training sessions took place in a rural location and involved the handling and use of firearms. Investigators are examining whether the activity complied with state firearms regulations and what level of access the accused had to weapons prior to the attack.
Authorities are continuing to piece together the suspect’s background, movements, and potential warning signs in the lead-up to the deadly incident. Police have emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing and that the release of documents is part of broader efforts to establish a clear timeline and assess any systemic failures.
The revelations come as the Bondi Beach attack continues to prompt national debate over gun laws, licensing, and oversight, with government officials facing pressure to review existing regulations and enforcement practices.
Law enforcement agencies have reiterated that the allegations outlined in the documents are subject to further investigation and legal scrutiny.
