Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said two gunmen who killed 15 people at a Jewish holiday celebration were motivated by the Islamic State.

After Australia's deadliest mass shooting in 1996, the country rushed in some of the world's toughest gun laws, including mandatory licensing and background checks, as well as registration of every firearm.

Australian police said one shooter died and the other suffered "critical injuries" after they opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration.

The victims of the mass shooting at Bondi Beach, Australia, shooting have begun to be identified. Here's what we know about them.

New South Wales Police said emergency services were called to Campbell Parade, the road that runs along Bondi Beach, just before 7 p.m. local time, to reports of a shooting.

Hundreds had gathered for an event at Bondi Beach called Chanukah by the Sea, which was celebrating the start of the Hanukkah Jewish festival.

An investigation is underway after a deadly attack on a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday.

Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited a Sydney hospital where he met a man who disarmed an apparent gunman during Sunday's mass shooting in Bondi.
