From The Times and the Sunday Times, this is the story.

I'm Manvine Rana.

Normally on a Sunday afternoon, or a Sunday evening,

I go and have a few beers of the Bondi icebergs with some cops,

retired cops and lawyers. Yeah, it was just normal, balmy Sunday in Bondi.

Mark Mori is a crime reporter. He's been a journalist for 45 years and he spent much of that time

living near Bondi Beach in Sydney.

For him, Sunday evenings are usually reserved for drinks with police contacts and friends.

But this Sunday, he was at home when one of them rang.

Just before 7 o'clock, I got a phone call from a friend who's an ex-New South Wales

policeman and he said, mate, there are shots, I can hear them.

These aren't firecrackers.

These are guns.

There's something going on.

They're shooting going.

People running everywhere.

Now I'm about five-minute walk or a two-minute drive from where he was describing.

My wife drove me there, and I said, look, I'll go and have a look.

I started seeing some ambulances, and I'm thinking, gee, there might be something like in this.

And I got out of the car and I said, look, I'll give you, to my wife, I'll give you a bit later,

I'll just go and see what's happening.

And I just, I walked to the area where I could see a lot of people milling around.
