@janey Thank you for sharing that information. I had not heard about the Bondi beach tragedy. DUring that incident, an extraordinary act of heroism occurred where a man jumped one of the shooters from behind, tackled him, took his weapon and then without shooting turned the weapon on the man who had fallen to the ground and was stopped from shooting more victims. People can see the footage here: https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/bondi-beach-gunshots-reported-12-14-25
