The hero of the deadly Bondi Beach attack, who was shot twice while bravely attempting to disarm one of the gunmen, has now been identified by his family as Ahmed al Ahmed, a 43-year-old fruit seller, husband, and father of two. His courageous actions during the chaos are being credited with saving countless lives.
Ahmed al Ahmed, who has no prior experience with firearms and is a practising Muslim, was simply passing by Bondi Beach when he suddenly heard the sound of gunfire erupting near the shoreline. Without hesitation, and despite the immense danger, he rushed toward the scene as people around him fled in terror.
