Dramatic video has emerged showing an elderly couple who were killed in the Bondi Beach shooting trying to stop and disarm one of the gunmen.
The dashcam video, which was shared on social media Tuesday and verified by NBC News, shows a man and a woman wrestling with and ultimately disarming a man on the side of the road.
Their family identified the couple as Boris and Sofia Gurman, both in their 60s.
It's the latest act of heroism to emerge from the attack, in which a father and son killed 15 people at a Hanukkah event at the famous site in Sydney. “These are Australian heroes,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters Wednesday.
Praise has also poured in for Ahmed al-Ahmed, a bystander seen disarming a gunman in separate video, who underwent surgery for gunshot wounds and was visited Tuesday by Albanese. On Wednesday, Albanese said al-Ahmed was undergoing surgery for his injuries.
