Live updates: Investigators working with Philippines over accused shooters’ trip; Alleged gunman wakes from coma; Parents of 10-year-old victim speak at memorial

The family of wounded police officer Jack Hibbert has revealed the 22-year-old has lost sight in one of his eyes as a result of being shot during the Bondi massacre.

The probationary constable sustained a bullet wound to his head and another to his shoulder, his family said in a statement

“Jack was taken to ICU where he was intubated and underwent multiple surgeries,” the statement read.

“Although miraculously surviving, Jack’s injuries have resulted in a loss of vision in one of his eyes and he now faces a long and challenging recovery ahead, with additional surgeries required.”

Hibbert had only been in the police force for four months when he was assigned to patrol Bondi Beach, where the Hanukkah by the Sea event was being hosted on Sunday night.

“Even so, in the face of a violent and tragic incident, he responded with courage, instinct, and selflessness, continuing to protect and help others whilst injured, until he was physically no longer able to,” the statement continues.

“Jack was simply doing his job – a job he deeply loves – driven by a commitment to protect the community, even at great personal cost.”

Colleagues and witnesses detailed to Hibbert’s family that he “moved toward people in need, not away from danger, and continued helping others while seriously injured”.

“The support from the police force and hospital staff has been unmatched and we are beyond grateful,” the family said.

“We thank the wider community for their kindness, support, and prayers for Jack and our family during this difficult time.

“We ask all to respect our privacy as we move through these next stages to support Jack and all his needs to a full recovery.”
