The man seen on video tackling a gunman during Sydney’s Bondi Beach mass shooting has no regrets, though he’s now at risk of losing his arm. Identified as Ahmed al Ahmed, a shop owner in his 40s who emigrated from Syria in 2006 and was granted Australian citizenship in 2022, the bystander was filmed crouching behind parked cars before rushing the attacker from behind, grabbing his rifle and knocking him to the ground, per the Sydney Morning Herald. Police say a 50-year-old father and his 24-year-old son opened fire at a Jewish celebration on Sunday afternoon, killing 15 people in what authorities describe as Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in nearly three decades, per Reuters.
