Boris and Sofia Gurman tackled one of the Islamic State-inspired attackers before being murdered along with 13 others.
Dramatic video evidence has surfaced of two individuals physically engaging one of the two armed terrorists who carried out Sunday’s Bondi Beach shooting, before being shot and killed themselves, according to The Guardian.
Family members confirmed their identities as Boris Gurman, 69, and Sofia Gurman, 61, in a statement to The Sydney Morning Herald, stating that they were “heartbroken by the sudden and senseless loss.”
Relatives added that the two “had been married for 34 years, with their 35th wedding anniversary approaching in January. We were looking forward to celebrating Sofia’s 62nd birthday on Wednesday, Dec. 17.”
