Australia’s prime minister visited Bondi Beach shooting hero Ahmed al Ahmed in hospital on Tuesday, lauding his efforts to help stop the nation’s deadliest gun attack in decades. A father and son killed 15 people at Bondi Beach on Sunday, targeting a Jewish festival that marked the start of Hanukkah. “He was trying to get a cup of coffee and found himself at a moment where people were being shot in front of him,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said after a bedside visit with heavily bandaged Ahmed. “He decided to take action and his bravery is an inspiration for all Australians,” Albanese added.
