CHRISTCHURCH/WELLINGTON - As New Zealanders struggled to cope with the deadly mayhem in Christchurch, stories of heroism have emerged from the tragedy, including a worshiper who chased away the gunman armed only with a credit card machine.Brenton Tarrant, 28, has been charged with murder in relation to the killings, and police have said he will face further charges.
“He had on army clothes. I wasn’t sure if he was the good guy or the bad guy. When he swore at me, I knew that he’s not the good guy,” Aziz told Reuters in an interview. He then picked up a gun dropped by the shooter and pulled the trigger, but it was empty: “I was screaming at the guy, come over here, come over here – I just wanted to put his focus on me.”
“He sat in his car and with the shotgun in my hands, I threw it through his window like an arrow. He just swore at me and took off.”Nearly 100 Muslim worshippers who had taken cover in the mosque as the rampage unfolded were left unharmed.
