The grieving daughter of Bondi Beach shooting victim Reuven Morrison has revealed her father died a hero while trying to stop the attackers as they sprayed innocent people with bullets.

At 62, Morrison met his tragic end on Sunday evening when he heroically faced off against gunman Sajid Akram by hurling bricks at him. This courageous act was recorded on camera as Ahmed Al Ahmed also stepped in to challenge the assailant.

Morrison’s daughter Sheina Gutnick told US broadcaster CBS it was only fitting that her incredible father died while trying to save lives.

“Based on my insights and what I’ve gathered, he sprang into action the moment the shots rang out, managing to pelt the terrorist with bricks,” shared Gutnick.

“After Ahmed successfully disarmed the attacker, my father attempted to fix the jammed gun, hoping to use it,” she continued.

“He shouted defiantly at the assailant while shielding the community from harm.”

Gutnick reflected that if her father had to depart from this world, it would be in the act of “fighting against a terrorist.”

“He wouldn’t have left us any other way,” she concluded.

Chilling social media footage which circulated in the aftermath of the shooting shows Morrison attempting to stop the gunmen while Ahmed tackled and disarmed him.

He was killed shortly after this video was taken.

Morrison, who split his time between Sydney and Melbourne, had migrated to Australia from the former Soviet Union in the 1970s.

He was a member of the Jewish community and was celebrating the first day of Hanukkah when he was killed.

Gutnick said her father migrated to Australia believing he would be safe.

Morrison is among 15 innocent people who were killed on Sunday.
