There was strong reaction on social media after it was learnt that the Bondi Beach shooter has an Indian connection, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
A friend of the gunmen told media outlets that the Sydney attacker Naveed Akram has an Indian (father) and Italian (mother) background.
“No matter the background, targeting innocent people celebrating a festival is pure evil and has no place in any community or religion,” social media users said.
They further added “We unequivocally condemn this attack on the Jewish community at Bondi Beach. Violence like this brings shame to humanity itself.”
