Mourners in Australia have fallen silent in honour of the victims of the Bondi beach attack. The memorial was part of a national day of reflection to mark a week since the shooting in which two gunmen opened fire on an event celebrating the Jewish festival of Hannukah.

A 50-year-old suspect in the Bondi beach shooting was shot and killed by police and his 24-year-old son, who was investigated previously, is in a coma.
