Australia's Bondi Beach turned into a nightmare Sunday evening when gunmen opened fire during a Hanukkah celebration ... killing at least 12 people, including one of the gunmen, and injuring 29 more in what leaders are calling a cowardly and targeted attack on the Jewish community.

The chaos erupted as hundreds gathered for Chanukah by the Sea, a family-friendly celebration of the first night of the holiday. Instead, beachgoers were sent screaming and sprinting for their lives as gunshots echoed over the sand.

According to officials, the attackers positioned themselves on a pedestrian bridge overlooking Bondi Park before unleashing a hail of bullets onto the crowd gathered near the playground.

But we have a security gate and armed guards and its possible this deterred something more serious."

A rep for Brookhaven PD tells TMZ ... Breaux, also known as rapper Erica Banks, was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over Monday in Brookhaven, GA, after a police officer noticed a tinted tag covering the license plate. In Georgia, it's against the law to have material affixed to a license plate that covers any portion of it.

The caller calls Tara "Ms. Reid" multiple times ... saying it louder and louder, seemingly in an attempt to get her attention -- and Tara responds with a series of groans and other mumbled noises instead of enunciated words.
