Shooting at Bondi Beach

A terrible shooting happened at Bondi Beach. It was the first day of Hanukkah. Fifteen people died. A child was also killed. Twenty-nine people were hurt. Men shot at a party. Australian leaders want to change gun laws.

The attack was about ten minutes long. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said it was a targeted attack. He said it was wrong to attack Jewish people. Also, pig heads were found at a cemetery. This shows more hate.

Police think Naveed Akram and his father did the attack. Naveed Akram was known to police. But he was not seen as a danger. This makes people ask questions. They also found bombs.

A brave man helped stop the attack. Ahmed al-Ahmed tackled one of the gunmen. He took a gun. The Premier praised his courage. Many people are alive because of him.

Police found six guns. Some were at the beach. Others were at a house. The guns may have been bought legally. This causes more calls for strict laws. Leaders will talk about new laws.
