AI Summary

short article 1 min

Following Sunday's deadly shooting, surfers and swimmers gathered at Bondi Beach on Friday morning to pay tribute to the victims. Participants paddled out into the ocean to form a ring and a memorial was held on shore. Bondi Beach has become a vigil site where mourners have gathered to leave flowers and listen to community speakers. The shooting, which resulted in 15 deaths and dozens of injuries, prompted the Australian government to announce a gun buyback scheme. The scheme aims to purchase surplus, newly banned, and illegal firearms.
