11 dead in Australia shooting (https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ckgk391yzm7t?post=asset%3A4a96f188-6b11-41b2-a8e4-3b2b5854571b#post)

Someone followed Languish advice and tackled a gunman...

QuotePremier Chris Minns pays tribute to the man who was filmed wrestling with one of the attackers, taking their gun and forcing their retreat.
"That man is a genuine hero, and I've got no doubt there are many, many people alive tonight as a result of his bravery."

First seeing the vid.
Got to say, that's Australian A.F.

Checking up seems he got shot doing it.

BBC News - 'Hero' who wrestled gun from Bondi shooter named as Ahmed al Ahmed

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?
