Strathfield massacre remembered 35 years on

from 7News Just In · host LiSTNR

The Strathfield massacre occurred on 17 August 1991 when gunman Wade Frankum opened fire at a shopping mall and cafe in Sydney, killing seven people including 15-year-old Roberta Armstrong. Survivors and victims' loved ones gathered 35 years later at a memorial service to honour those who died, laying wreaths and observing a moment of silence. The tragedy prompted calls for stricter gun laws in Australia, with further reforms following after subsequent attacks including the Port Arthur massacre and the Bondi terror attack.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
