Video appeared to show the bystander, named as fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, tackling and disarming one of the gunmen on Sunday.

Two suspected gunmen accused of killing 15 people and injuring dozens during a Hanukkah celebration in Australia have been identified as a father and a son, authorities have said. The younger man was reportedly investigated years ago over suspected links to an ISIS cell in Sydney.

Mr. el Ahmed’s bravery in disarming one of the gunmen was praised by Australian officials and a video of his actions went viral worldwide. He is recovering in a hospital.

A Holocaust survivor, a 10-year-old and a Chabad rabbi were among the 15 people killed when two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah event at Australia's Bondi Beach on Sunday. Hundreds of people had gathered to mark the first day of the Jewish festival, before the attackers struck at the event in Sydney.

Local media name the gunmen as Sajid Akram, 50, who died at the scene, and Naveed Akram, 24, who's in a critical condition. They reportedly had links to the Islamic State group.

For the second time in 3 decades, Australian leaders have vowed to respond quickly to a mass shooting with tighter gun ownership laws.

Local media name the older gunman as Sajid Akram, 50, who died at the scene. His son Naveed Akram, 24, is in a critical condition in hospital.

The Australian government is "prepared to take whatever action is necessary," after the shooting at Bondi Beach, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.

When shots started ringing out at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, Logan Wein and Jordy Velasco turned into oncoming traffic and warned people headed toward the water to turn around altogether.
