"A father and son pair of gunmen killed at least 15 people in a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on Sunday on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, according to officials. At least 42 people have been hospitalized. Police shot and killed the 50-year-old elder gunman, authorities said. His 24-year-old son was wounded and remains hospitalized. Authorities have not yet charged him in the case."
"Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the violence, calling it an "act of antisemitism" and an "act of terrorism." Authorities have not yet identified the victims, but police believe their ages range between 10 and 87. Albanese will meet with leaders of Australia's states and territories today. Australia has some of the world's strictest gun laws, but the prime minister is seeking even tougher ones after the Bondi attack."
"Authorities are still searching for the gunman who opened fire inside a Brown University academic building two days ago, killing two students and injuring nine others. This comes after officials determined yesterday evening that they had no basis for holding a man in his 20s, whom police had briefly held as a "person of interest" in the case."
