A child lost to terror: HEARTBREAKING WORDS from Bondi Beach VICTIM'S PARENTS

The parents of 10-year-old Matilda, the youngest victim of the Bondi Beach mass shooting, have recounted the devastating moments leading up to the attack that claimed their daughter’s life. Matilda’s father, Michael (surname withheld at the family’s request), said the family initially believed the gunfire was fireworks or a cruel joke. As panic set in, he wrapped his shirt around his wounded daughter while trying to comfort her. "She was in shock," he said. “She was telling me, ‘It’s hard to breathe.’” Matilda’s mother, Valentyna, said she had been briefly separated from her daughter when the girl went to pet animals at the Hanukkah celebration. "She was running around happy," Valentyna said. “And what I see before my eyes, she was laying on the ground.” The attack, carried out by a father and son believed to be inspired by the Islamic State, is Australia’s worst mass shooting in nearly 30 years and is being investigated as an act of terrorism targeting the Jewish community. The death toll stands at 16, including one of the gunmen, Sajid Akram, 50, who was shot dead by police. His 24-year-old son, Naveed Akram, was shot by police and emerged from a coma earlier this week. #bondibeach #australia #bondibeachattack Enjoy the best news, including top sports stories and the latest updates on video, on our website: https://en.as.com/videos/?omnil=mpal
