The Australian government has announced a national gun buyback scheme and a day of reflection. This follows a shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach that killed 15 people. Authorities have described the attack as anti-Semitic.
The program will allow people to surrender certain types of firearms to the government for money. Officials say the goal is to improve public safety.
On Friday, hundreds of surfers and swimmers entered the ocean at Bondi in a tribute to the victims. The government says the official national day of remembrance will honour those who died and the first responders.
