How journalists covered a weekend of mass shootings across two continents
The horrors continue.
This past weekend was marred by two mass shootings — one in Australia and one in the U.S.
In what Australian authorities called an act of antisemitic terrorism, at least 16 people were killed and dozens more were injured after two gunmen opened fire Sunday during a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
One of the suspected gunmen, a 50-year-old man, was shot and killed by police. His 24-year-old son was shot by police and has been hospitalized with “critical injuries.”
