Akram's Family Seeks Privacy in Mass Shooting Case

0:00It's March 9th. Let's get into the latest global headlines. A 24-year-old man named David Akram faces 59 charges, including 15 counts of murder from the December 14th attack on A, Jewish festival in Australia. He did not show up in person for a court hearing in Sydney where his lawyer sought to keep his mother's, brothers and sisters' names, addresses, sing, workplaces, and schools out of the public eye. The magistrate granted a temporary non-publication order pointing to intense global interest in the case. He noted, though, that Akram's mother's name had already spread widely in media reports. Akram's mother had spoken to reporters right after the shooting to defend her son. Meanwhile, his father was killed in a police shootout at the attack site. News Corp Australia, which runs Sky News and several major papers, plans to fight the order. The court will revisit the issue next week. The reporters say the two gunmen drew inspiration from Islamic State, but acted alone, with no larger network involved.
