Bondi hero says he wanted to stop gunman killing innocent people

The man who disarmed one of the gunmen who killed 15 people at a Jewish event at Bondi Beach has revealed his thoughts in the moments before his heroic actions. In verified footage, Ahmed al Ahmed - a Sydney shop owner born and raised in Syria tackled one of the two shooters from behind, wrestling a long-arm gun from him. "I hold him with my right hand and start saying a word, you know, like to warn him 'drop your gun, stop doing what you're doing'," the father-of-two told the BBC's US partner CBS News in an exclusive interview. Mr Ahmed, who was shot several times by the other alleged gunman, said his actions saved "Iots of people... but I feel sorry still for the lost."
