Two police officers, Constable Scott Dyson and Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert, were seriously injured in the shooting and remain in hospital.
Dyson, a talented water polo player who has represented Australia, has worked in the eastern suburbs command for 18 months, police said. He was shot in the shoulder and abdomen with what is believed to have been the high-powered rifle being fired by Naveed.

Hibbert was one of several officers already at the beach when the shooting started.
He and his partner had got out of their car and were walking near Archer Park when the Akrams started shooting at them.
Hibbert was dragging members of the public to safety when he suffered a gunshot wound. Shrapnel damaged the nerves behind his eye, which he could lose.

In a statement, the families of the injured officers expressed their “heartfelt gratitude to all first responders who acted with courage, in particular the police officers and paramedics who responded”.
They thanked hospital staff, and offered their thoughts to the families and friends of victims injured and killed in the shooting.
