    I’m watching on silent and I’m a little confused.

    I see him tackling the guy, he wrests away the gun, he points it at the guy who tries to run away, then he looks away, raises an arm and lays the gun down. I don’t see any blood on him. But he’s got bullet wounds in the hospital.

    Did police or someone shoot him thinking he was the shooter? Or was he shot by the guy but just powered through?

      I watched the longer footage, later on the video it pan to the right and reveal there’s another shooter on the balcony/pedestrian bridge, and then the camera-man pan back and he’s sitting down, so he might’ve been shot by the shooter.

    I guess the two people that lost their lives tackling the shooters weren’t the “best” then?

        The lack of media thanking them for the sacrifice or even mentioning who they were, whilst nationally this other hero is front page on every form of media, and the shooters get more name recognition

          That’s just you inferring something from what’s not being said. Instead of accusing the media of what they didn’t do, why don’t you go share articles about the other two heroes so they get the recognition you think they ‘deserve.’ Personally, if I died trying to stop gunmen, I wouldn’t need recognition. I’d want my family left alone in peace to process my death.

      Everyone who stepped up to try to stop the shooters represents the best of Australia. Praising the one who’s around to receive the visit doesn’t demean the dead, whose families may not want a bunch of politicians muscling in on their grief
