SYDNEY (AP) — At least 11 people were killed Sunday in a shooting attack during a Jewish holiday celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, police said.
Mass shootings are rare in Australia, where gun ownership has been tightly controlled since a massacre in 1996.
Here is a timeline of some recent shootings.
April 28, 1996
Gunman Martin Bryant killed 35 people and wounded 23 in a rampage at the Port Arthur tourist precinct in the state of Tasmania.
In the wake of the attack, the federal and state governments agreed to ban semiautomatic and pump-action shotguns and rifles. A gun buyback scheme saw more than 700,000 firearms surrendered.
In the decade before the massacre, there had been 11 mass shootings, with at least four dead victims. There were none in the decade that followed.
