SYDNEY (AP) — Australians grieved, left messages of condolences and lay flowers at a memorial for the 15 people who were killed in a mass shooting attack on a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

Jewish mourners gathered for a menorah lighting ceremony at the floral memorial for the victims.

Those killed ranged in age from 10 to 87 years old. They were attending a Hanukkah event at Australia’s most famous beach Sunday when the gunshots rang out.
