The Australian authorities said the 24-year-old man, who had been shot by the police, woke from a coma on Tuesday afternoon.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the Syrian-Australian father who wrestled a shotgun from one of the gunmen attacking a Jewish gathering, is facing a long road to recovery.

The first funerals for some of the 15 people killed in Australia’s worst mass shooting in almost three decades took place on Wednesday as police brought murder and terror charges against one of the alleged gunmen.

The man who allegedly opened fire on a Jewish gathering at Australia’s Bondi Beach has been charged with 15 counts of murder, New South Wales Police said.

The suspect in the Bondi Beach terror attack is charged in a hospital after waking from a coma, as Sydney's Jewish community mourns "our 7th of October."

A bystander who wrestled a gun from one of the alleged attackers during a mass shooting at Bondi Beach has been identified as Ahmed al Ahmed, whose refugee parents had just arrived from Syria, according to Australian officials and media.

SYDNEY — Hundreds remained on Bondi Beach long after the sun had set Tuesday. Many stood silently beneath the waning moon, police helicopters whirring overhead. Some laid bouquets of flowers, which local stores were giving out for free. All were there to pay tribute to the 15 people killed at a Hanukkah celebration on Sunday.

Australian and Filipino authorities are investigating a recent trip to the southern Philippines by a father and son accused of gunning down 15 people at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
