The chaotic scenes of terror that unfolded at Bondi Beach on Sunday were quickly overshadowed by an astonishing act of bravery.
As two gunmen opened fire on a crowd of approximately 2,000 people celebrating the first day of Hanukkah, the devastating onslaught that lasted at least 10 minutes was abruptly interrupted by a local hero: Ahmed al-Ahmed, a 43-year-old fruit stall owner. His split-second decision to confront an armed killer is now being hailed globally as the ultimate act of courage.
