Bondi Shooting Hero Bystander’s Fundraiser Tops $2 Million

A gofundme page for the bystander who tackled and disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters has topped $2 million, as he remains in hospital for treatment for multiple gunshot wounds.

Extraordinary footage shows Ahmed Al Ahmed, a 43-year-old father-of-two who arrived in Australia from Syria in 2006, emerging from behind a parked car, grabbing the shooter from behind and wrestling the weapon from his hands. He then points the rifle at the shooter before laying it down next to a tree.
