Sydney residents leave flower tributes at scene of deadly shooting on Bondi Beach

(15 Dec 2025) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Sydney, Australia - 15 December 2025 1. Various of people laying down flowers and paying tribute to the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting STORYLINE: People laid flowers and paid their respects on Monday at a memorial for the victims of shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach. Two gunmen opened fire during a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi beach, killing 15 people, including a child, officials said Monday, in what Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called an act of antisemitic terrorism that struck at the heart of the nation. The shooters were father and son, authorities said. The massacre at one of Australia’s most popular beaches followed a wave of antisemitic attacks that have roiled the country over the past year, although the authorities didn’t suggest those and the shooting Sunday were connected. It was the deadliest shooting in almost three decades in a country with strict gun control laws. One gunman, a 50-year-old man, was fatally shot by police. The other shooter, his 24-year-old son, was wounded and was being treated at a hospital, said Mal Lanyon, New South Wales police commissioner. Police said one gunman was known to security services, but Lanyon said authorities had no indication of a planned attack. Those killed were aged between 10- and 87-years-old, New South Wales Premier Chris Minns told reporters. At least 42 others were being treated at hospitals on Monday morning, several of them in a critical condition. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
