A deadly firearm attack at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday evening has reignited debate over gun control policies after 11 people were killed despite Australia’s long-standing and stringent national firearms restrictions.
The Jewish community was targeted during the attack, and two gunmen were involved.
One of the attackers was killed as authorities moved to end the assault.
Witnesses at the scene reported that more than 30 shots were fired before the violence was stopped.
Officials later confirmed that several suspicious items were found near a bridge where shots were fired, including an improvised explosive device.
The Daily Mail reported that bomb squad specialists removed the device and transported it away from the area in an armored vehicle.
Authorities have not released additional details about the device or the full scope of the investigation, which remains ongoing.
Australia took away its citizens’ guns, but 10 people at Bondi Beach are dead anyway because terrorists don’t care about gun laws.
The only thing the Australian government did was make sure its unarmed, law-abiding, citizens are now sitting ducks, unable to defend themselves. pic.twitter.com/xzwEziEpxk
