It was very crazy, we went behind the cars, we were seeing that people were shooting very near to us.’ Moments later, Mr Ahmed was filmed gently creeping through the car park along Campbell Parade to get towards the shooter. Once within close enough range, he sprinted towards the gunman, finally wrestling the firearm from him. The gunman, 50-year-old Sajid Akram, then fell backward towards the ground as Mr Ahmed lifted the rifle, aiming it towards the disarmed shooter. Akram then backed away as Mr Ahmed rested the firearm against a tree before a second bystander rushed the shooter and threw an object at him. The footage went viral online, prompting a GoFundMe campaign to be launched to raise funds for the hero, who remains under observation in the hospital. According to Mail Online, the campaign has so far raised close to a $1million across more than 5,000 donations, including $100,000 from US billionaire Bill Ackman.At least 16 people were killed in Sunday night’s mass shooting, including a ten-year-old girl, with dozens more left seriously injured. The post Donations for Bondi hero who wrestled gun off jihadi terrorist during mass sho0ting in Australia reach close to $1MILLION appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
