Australian immigrant who tackled gunman ‘riddled with bullets,’ but ‘said he’d do it again,’ lawyer says

Ahmed al Ahmed, the Australian immigrant who heroically wrested a gun away from one of the shooters involved in the deadly antisemitic terror attack on Sunday in Australia, said he would do it all over again, his migration lawyer, Sam Issa, said, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

“He doesn’t regret what he did. He said he’d do it again. But the pain has started to take a toll on him,” Sam Issa noted Monday night after visiting the wounded man, the outlet reported. “He’s not well at all. He’s riddled with bullets. Our hero is struggling at the moment.”

The wounded Muslim father, 44, has daughters who are five and six-years-old, according to the outlet, which reported that he came to Australia from Syria in 2006 and later received citizenship in 2022.
