First seeing the vid.
Got to say, that's Australian A.F.
Checking up seems he got shot doing it.

Also have to admit it's encouraging that he had a name like this. Should help ensure likely goals of the attackers are lessened.
And glad he wasn't killed by cops.
No word on what happened to the attacker he forced to flee.
Yeah. That was a truly heroic action and he got shot twice while doing it.
Marty would be proud.
Yeah the video is incredible. A very brave man - and as Jos says very, very Aussie.
There was a Aussie hero in the mall stabbing rampage too, wasn't there?
Two ISIS flags found in the shooters' car.
Seems there was an elderly couple tried to take down the guy too and failed.
The one in the vid is a ex cop Syrian. Shooters are Filipinos. Quite the interesting turnaround on usual stereotypes.
I don't know. Filipinos have their ISIS fans.
Pretty impressive that multiple people put their lives on the line to stop them.
My source said Pakistani father and son.
They trained in the Philippines, they weren't philipino.
