Video has been verified showing the final horrific moments of the Bondi Beach terror attack, with more than 100 shots fired in the area in less than six minutes.
The full video — filmed over almost 11 minutes — gives a unique, unrestricted view of the rampage, showing shooting positions and the scene as the attack came to an end.
ABC NEWS Verify has analysed the video frame-by-frame and compared it with other verified videos, to give a clearer picture of how the attack unfolded.
Second by second
The video, which is too graphic to play in full, was filmed about 50 metres away from the bridge where the alleged gunmen, Naveed and Sajid Akram, were positioned throughout most of the terror attack.
It shows 5 minutes and 52 seconds of the attack before Naveed Akram is critically injured, bringing the firefight to an end.
In that period, 103 gunshots can be heard in the audio: a mix of weapon discharges from both the alleged shooters and police.

Beginning of video
The video opens with Sajid Akram firing what appears to be a long-barrel firearm at two people trying to get away from him.
The two people disappear behind a parked car and don’t get up. In later videos, they are seen lying in the same position, motionless.
35 seconds
Thirty-five seconds into the video, Sajid Akram leaves the shooting position on the bridge.
He then moves out of frame for two minutes and 59 seconds, during which time his son appears to continue to fire in the direction of the Hanukkah event after collecting a second firearm that had been lying on the bridge.
During this time, Naveed Akram appears to gesture at unseen people to get away without firing at them, suggesting the targeting of the Jewish community event.
While off the bridge, Sajid Akram is tackled and disarmed by a bystander — prompting the terrorist to walk back to the bridge from where his son appears to still be shooting.

How the Bondi Beach terrorist attack unfolded
