The number of civilians killed in the December 14 terrorist attack in Sydney has risen to 15, New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park said, APA reports.
According to the minister, 16 people, one of them an attacker, "have now passed away, including a child at Sydney Children's Hospital."
"This is absolutely horrendous for the community broadly, but particularly the Jewish community, for Australians," Park said on the Nine Today Show.
He added that four of those injured in the shooting had been transferred to the children’s hospital.
