Australia<\/a> is currently mourning following one of the deadliest mass shootings in the country since 1996 in Port Arthur.<\/p>\n

So far, at least 15 people have been confirmed to have died after two gunmen shot at crowds at Bondi Beach, Sydney, as they celebrated the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.<\/p>\n

Following the shooting, it was revealed that the alleged gunmen were father and son, Sajid and Naveed Akram.<\/p>\n
