Australia will observe a national day of mourning for the victims of the mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, where two gunmen killed 15 people at a Jewish celebration on December 14. Flags will be flown at half-staff across the country, with a moment of silence planned for 7:01 pm Sydney time. Memorial services will be held at the Sydney Opera House and Bondi’s Chabad House, with the theme “Light will win” and light installations in various cities to honor the victims. The attack was the deadliest in 30 years, with suspect Sajid Akram shot and killed by police and his son charged with terrorism and murder.
