From Daily Mail: Two victims of the Bondi Beach shooting were caught on camera moments before their tragic deaths – as they battled to stop one of the gunmen.
Police allege Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid, 50, stood on a footbridge at the eastern Sydney beach, firing shots into a crowd celebrating Hanukkah on the beach.
Dashcam footage has now emerged on social media of a man falling to the road beside Sajid, holding the gun he had just wrested from him. A woman stands nearby.
“Many people may not know that at the very beginning of the incident, two individuals were among the first to identify the gunman and bravely attempted to disarm him,” a social media user said. “Tragically, they were shot and killed in the process.
“They were heroes, too. They stepped forward in the face of extreme danger.”
Later in the attack, another Good Samaritan intervened and was filmed wrestling the gun away from Sajid. In a tragic twist, at the start of that video, the heroic couple can be seen slain on the ground.
