On Sunday, two gunmen killed at least 15 people during a Jewish Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, marking Australia’s worst mass shooting since 1996. The suspects include a 50-year-old man, shot dead by police, and his 24-year-old son, who is in critical condition; the father was a licensed firearms holder. Despite strict gun laws established after a previous mass shooting, gun ownership has increased recently. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to address the incident as authorities investigate.
