An unarmed Muslim worshiper is being called a hero for tackling the gunman who opened fire in a New Zealand mosque, taking the man’s gun and chasing him away before he could kill any more people.
The portrait of heroism has emerged amid the brutality of an attack that left at least 49 dead in Christchurch on Friday. Police say a heavily armed gunman burst into the city’s Linwood mosque and opened fire in an attack, part of a pair of attacks that left dozens dead.
“He saw an opportunity and pounced on [the gunman] and took his gun,” Mazharuddin said.
