I can’t find news that one is dead. Can you let me know what source you used please?

Edit: found it. Yahoo news is reporting that one of the gunmen is dead, one in custody with ten others dead. ABC is reporting three dead, ten wounded, both gunmen in custody as at 8:23 pm Sydney time

Whoever that guy was that disarmed one of the shooters should have free drinks at every single bar in Australia.

Around the world. He is literally the hero we don't deserve.

I am currently living in central Europe and I am fairly sure we could get him a drink in almost every bar here. Or more.

ABC have since updated:

Police media have confirmed to the ABC that 10 people have died in this evening's shooting at Bondi Beach, including one of the shooters and nine victims.

Twelve people were also injured, including multiple police officers responding to the incident.

A second shooter is among the injured, and is in custody.

Yeah I saw footage, one guy is completely down. Looks like the rifleman was wounded, and mister disarmed is the one now confirmed dead.
