"I just keep thinking it's a bad dream and I'm going to wake up. It's just the most horrifying thing that I always prayed that would never happen," said Erley.  ppLaura Walkerden, a victim support volunteer who used to live in the Bondi Beach area, termed the incident 'an attack on humanity.' "Today's incident is just an attack on humanity, an attack on the Jewish community. There's absolutely no need for anyone in this world to do the things that happened here. And my heart goes out to all the victims, their families, and the journey that they are now going to be on to heal from what's happened. There are no words, my heart is broken for them," she said.
