Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is proposing tougher national gun laws after a weekend mass shooting in Sydney.
Australian leaders have promised to immediately overhaul already-tough gun control laws after a mass shooting targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach. At least 15 people died in the attack. It has fueled criticism that authorities are not doing enough to combat a surge in antisemitic crimes.
Among the new measures proposed Monday would be a limit on the number of guns someone can own and a review of licenses held over time. Sunday's violence erupted at the end of a summer day when thousands had flocked to Bondi Beach. They included hundreds gathered for the Chanukah by the Sea event celebrating the start of the Jewish festival.
Police say the younger son of Rob Reiner, Nick Reiner, was taken into custody Monday after the deaths of the director-actor and his wife Michele at their home in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a medical aid request Sunday afternoon and discovered a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman deceased inside. Detectives are investigating it as an apparent homicide. Reiner, known for directing films like “This is Spinal Tap” and “A Few Good Men,” was 78. He was married to Michele since 1989. They had three children together.

Authorities in Australia say the death toll has risen to 16 following a shooting at Bondi Beach that targeted a Jewish gathering during Hanukkah. Among those killed was a 10-year-old child, intensifying shock and grief across the country.
Police say the attack unfolded at the popular Sydney-area beach, where large crowds had gathered. Investigators recovered several suspicious items at the scene, including what they described as explosive devices, raising concerns about the scope and planning behind the assault.
Officials confirmed the shooting is the deadliest act of gun violence in Australia in more than three decades. The incident has renewed calls for tighter security and scrutiny of extremist threats, as authorities continue to investigate the motive and any possible accomplices.
On today’s show, Josh dives into the horrific terror attack in Australia and tears apart the Left’s knee-jerk calls for gun control—arguing they completely miss the real threat staring us in the face. He breaks down why the warning signs for an attack like this were obvious to anyone willing to look. Josh then turns to Brown University, where two people were murdered over the weekend, and explains why the same tired gun-control rhetoric won’t save anyone there either—especially with the suspect still on the loose. Finally, Josh responds to Megyn Kelly’s recent on-air swipe at him and exposes what her attack really reveals about her priorities and worldview.

Two students are dead and nine others wounded following a shooting at Brown University over the weekend. Authorities in Providence said Sunday night that a person of interest detained in connection with the attack will be released after investigators determined there was no basis to hold him.
The announcement came during a late-night news conference, more than 12 hours after police initially said someone had been taken into custody. During the incident, students and staff on the Ivy League campus were ordered to shelter in place while law enforcement conducted a massive search for the shooter.
Officials now say there is no current suspect and are renewing efforts to identify the gunman. Authorities continue to canvass the area, review surveillance footage, and gather information to aid in the investigation.
No further details on a motive have been released, and the investigation is ongoing.
