Bondi Beach attack: Dashcam video shows couple confronting suspected gunman
Global News
The couple were Bondi locals and described by their loved ones as an 'honest' and 'hardworking' couple who were 'devoted' to their family.
A couple killed in the Bondi Beach Hanukkah attack tried to stop one of the suspected shooters and briefly took his weapon, according to dashcam footage.
Boris Gurman, 69, and his wife, Sofia, 61, reportedly intervened in an attempt to disarm the suspect, losing their lives in the process.
Dashcam footage shared on the Chinese social media platform Rednote shows Gurman fighting with one of the suspected attackers, disarming him and both men falling into the road.
Gurman appears to stand and hit the attacker with the weapon with his wife at his side. The attacker is then believed to have retrieved another gun, which he allegedly used to kill the couple, the BBC reported.
Separate drone footage shows the couple lying motionless on the pavement, according to The Guardian.
“We are heartbroken by the sudden and senseless loss of our beloved Boris and Sofia Gurman,” the family told the Sydney Morning Herald. “They 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 17th of December.
“While nothing can lessen the pain of losing Boris and Sofia, we feel an overwhelming sense of pride in their bravery and selflessness,” the family continued.
“This encapsulates who Boris and Sofia were — people who instinctively and selflessly tried to help others.”
