DUBAI: Bondi Beach shooting hero Ahmed Al Ahmed recalled the moment he ran toward one of the attackers and wrenched his shotgun away, saying the only thing he had in mind was to stop the assailant from “killing more innocent people.” Al-Ahmad’s heroism was widely acclaimed in Australia when he tackled and disarmed gunman Sajid Akram who fired at Jewish people attending a Hanukkah event on December 14, killing 15 people and wounding dozens.

‘I know I saved lots, but I feel sorry for the lost,’ Ahmed tells CBS News of those who died in attack on 14 December

Authorities say the actions of Ahmed al Ahmed, a shop owner, saved countless lives.
