Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has proposed tougher national gun laws after a mass shooting in Sydney.

Australian officials said the shooting at a Jewish holiday celebration had been carried out by a father and son. More than three dozen people were hospitalized, including a surviving gunman.

The mass shooting, labeled a terrorist attack by authorities, has sent shockwaves through Jewish communities worldwide — including here in Georgia, Sen. Jon Ossoff says.

Two gunmen opened fire during a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney's 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.

Two medical professionals who live near Bondi Beach, where gunmen attacked a Hanukkah festival on Sunday, described a harrowing scene.

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns on Sunday praised the man's actions, calling it "the most unbelievable scene."

Bondi sits at the heart of Sydney's Jewish community, a connection that helps explain why one of the city's most visible Jewish celebrations takes place there each year.

A man who was filmed tackling and disarming an armed attacker during a deadly shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday has been hailed as a hero and widely praised, with authorities and world leaders crediting his actions with potentially saving lives.
