Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has vowed to strengthen the country's gun laws after a shooting targeting the Jewish community at a Hanukkah event on Sydney's Bondi Beach,
BBC reports.
Police had earlier said that the gunmen behind the attack were father and son. They have been named by local media as Sajid Akram and his son Naveed Akram.
The older gunman died after being shot dead by police. The 24-year-old is in a critical condition in hospital.
Fifteen people - including a 10-year-old girl - were killed in the attack, which Albanese also called "an act of antisemitism... [and] terrorism on our shores".
Mass shootings in Australia are very rare, and the attack at Bondi is the deadliest incident in the country since the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 when 35 people were killed by a lone gunman.
Police have declared the incident a terror attack.
