A tragic incident unfolded on Sunday evening when 62-year-old Morrison lost his life after confronting gunman Sajid Akram. In a courageous act caught on video, Morrison hurled bricks at the attacker, while another civilian, Ahmed Al Ahmed, bravely intervened.

“Based on what I know, he sprang into action as soon as the shooting began,” said Gutnick. “He was able to throw bricks at the gunman during the chaos.”

Gutnick further explained, “After Ahmed managed to disarm the attacker, my father attempted to fix the jammed gun, possibly to use it in self-defense.”

“He was shouting at the gunman, doing his best to shield the community,” she added.

Reflecting on her father’s bravery, Gutnick expressed that if Morrison had to leave this world, it would be fittingly in the act of “fighting a terrorist.”

“There was no other way he would have been taken from us,” she added.

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.
