Following a deadly terrorist shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia on Sunday, vigils are being held across the country to mourn the 16 people killed, including one of the alleged gunmen. Twenty-five people remain hospitalized. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised stricter gun laws in response to the attack. It has been revealed that Australia's national security agency, ASIO, investigated one of the alleged shooters in 2019 for potential extremist links but determined he was not a person of interest, despite associations with individuals who were later jailed. The Five Eyes intelligence network will assist in the investigation of the shooting.
