Australia to discuss gun laws after 15 killed

A mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney killed at least 15 people and wounded 40.
A bystander, filmed tackling and disarming an assailant during the shooting, has been praised as a hero.
Let’s get you up to speed with the latest developments:

At least 15 people have been killed, ranging in age from 10 years old to 87, while 40 more remain hospitalised.
One of the two gunmen – the 50-year-old father in the father-son duo – arrived in Australia in 1998 on a student visa, authorities say.
The son, a 24-year-old, came to authorities’ attention in 2019, but there was no indication that he posed a threat of engaging in violence.
Australia’s PM Anthony Albanese has also said his government is considering tougher gun laws in the wake of the killings.
A bystander filmed tackling and disarming an assailant during the shooting has been praised as a hero whose actions may have saved lives.
