The 15 victims in the massacre at a Hanukkah event on Sydney’s Bondi Beach in Australia range in age from 10 to 87, says Chris Minns, the premier of New South Wales.

Speaking at a press conference, Minns says that 42 people remain in hospitals following the shooting. Two of them are wounded police officers.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, speaking after Minns, calls the attack an “act of pure evil, an act of antisemitism, an act of terrorism on our shores.”

The shooting “deliberately targeted at the Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah,” he says, calling it “a dark day in our nation’s history.”
