This is awful.
According to recent reports, at least 7 people are dead– including four children– in the aftermath of what media reports are calling a “mass tragedy.”
Or as they’d call it in the US, a mass SHOOTING.
Fascinating. They call this mass shooting a “mass tragedy” in the gun-free paradise of Australia. pic.twitter.com/BK2lst7mwz

“The bodies of two adults were located outside, five bodies were located inside a building on the rural property.
“Two firearms have been located at the scene.
“We are trying to locate other members of the family and friends.
“I’m not in a position to release any further details about the identities of the deceased.

It is understood the incident took place at Margaret River on Thursday evening.
Horrifying.
