Australian teen wounded while shielding children during Bondi attack says she is not a hero

Chaya Dadon was shot defending children at a Chanukah event where about 2,000 attendees faced a six-minute shooting by Islamist-inspired attackers.

  • On December 14, a teenager, Chaya Dadon, abandoned a bench to shield children at Archer Park, Bondi Beach, and was shot in the leg.
  • Father Sajid Akram and his son Naveed Akram positioned themselves on a pedestrian footbridge above Archer Park, draped an ISIS flag on their car, and opened fire at 6:40 p.m.
  • Boris Gurman, 69, and Sofia Gurman, 61, rushed an attacker on Campbell Parade, wrestled his rifle, and were shot while trying to stop him; Yanky Super, a Hatzalah paramedic, was also struck and collapsed with a lung injury.
  • Three Sydney police officers engaged the gunmen, wounding two officers including one with a head injury, while rabbinical student Leibel Lazaroff tended an injured police officer with a tourniquet.
  • Within a roughly 100-meter circle, the attack lasted six minutes, and Archer Park's open ground offered little shelter, forcing people to scramble fifty meters toward the Bondi Pavilion.
