“Civilian heroes” Boris Gurman and Sofia Gurman have been identified as the 11th and 12th victims in the Bondi Beach terror massacre after footage emerged of them running towards danger and wrestling away a rifle from terrorist Sajid Akram.
Boris, 69, and Sofia, 61, Russian-speaking Jewish immigrants who died beside one another as likely the very first of Akram’s victims, remembered by their family for their “bravery and selflessness”.
The pair were seen in dashcam footage earlier on Tuesday, where Boris wrestled a longarm gun from the hands of Akram in a violent struggle on the Bondi Beach footbridge.
Akram is seen knocked to the ground as Boris lies beside him clutching the firearm, while Sofia watches in visible shock. Both were hailed as heroes for their unflinching bravery before the first shots had been fired.

sixty nine is the new twenty five.
I saw that vid (different source) a little while ago. It is cut off, so I didn’t see the murder of the Gurman’s, or see how the terrorist got another weapon.
It’s too bad Mr. Gurman didn’t get the chance to shoot the bastard right there.
Yes. I certainly wish he’d been able to do so.

Yes true, no experience with fire arms is another gift of gun control.
That and the misconception that guns are bad.
But maybe the gun was empty even so it made a good club.
[Insert the obvious “if only” remark here]
I’m not going to seek out the video, but this implies the good guys got the rifle away… did the other guy shoot them?
More heroes!!!!

So Rare these days
But Still Alive.
