A COMMUNITY SHAKEN BY A LATE-NIGHT ATTACK

From a small footbridge – just metres from a children’s playground – gunmen fired upon the fenced-in crowds. A car full of improvised bombs was parked nearby, though they never went off.

One attendee, who identified himself only as Barry, described watching people around him get shot as hundreds of beach-goers began screaming and running through the park to get away from the attack.

“It was pandemonium and chaos,” he told the BBC.
