Hollywood legend Rob Reiner & wife found stabbed to death as ‘troubled son is quizzed by police’
Footage shows one experienced Aussie officer taking cover behind a tree before unleashing a burst of shots towards the older gunman.
Police called the hit a “once in a lifetime shot” and praised the detective’s fearless actions.
The son, the suspected second shooter, then gets hit twice and is downed as cops swoop in.
Sajid was found dead when officers arrived with Naveed given life-saving treatment to keep him alive.
It comes as a video recorded by the pair has been found at the Airbnb hired by the killers before their sick attack.
The father and son posed with weapons and discussed their extremist views in the clip.
They had just returned to Sydney, Australia, from a month in the Philippines, a known breeding ground for Islamic extremism.
After returning from the Philippines the Akram’s booked into a £45-a-night, short-term rental in Campsie, 12 miles from Bondi.
While they rented the Campsie property they told their family they were on a fishing trip.
It comes as a trio of brave beachgoers who attempted to stop the gunmen have been named.
Footage showed Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, bravely wrestling a rifle out of the hands of one of the twisted gunmen.
Ahmed tackled the shooter to the ground and recovered the weapon before pointing it at the now unarmed gunman.
As he threatened him, he was shot five times and had to be rushed to hospital where he is now recovering from surgery.
Separate footage captured the courageous moment a married couple tried to fight off a Bondi gunman on a busy road.
Dashcam footage shows Boris Gurman, 69, wrestling with one of the suspected gunman, believed to be the Sajid, after he got out of his car.
A gun can be seen in the hands of the alleged terrorist as Boris’ wife Sofia, 69, watches on and tries to help.

Politicians must wake up to threat
by Noa Hoffman
THE Jewish community in Sydney lives peacefully among the sand and sea.
They work hard, spend weekends surfing, jogging along the golden crescent coastline, and slurp green smoothies under the blazing sun – like every other Bondi Aussie.
They chill on the beach, and every year at Chanukah they eat jam doughnuts and light a menorah.
I know this all too well because the eastern suburbs of Sydney are where I grew up – my life before moving to the UK.
Bondi is home to Sydney’s vibrant Jewish community, including my grandmother, sister, aunts and many cousins.
In a tragic turn, the beautiful beach life I enjoyed until 19 is no more.
Sydney’s small, quiet Jewish community, like Britain’s, now finds itself at the mercy of Islamist extremists.
These vile radicals – who do not represent mainstream Muslims – have been left to fester, almost unchecked, in closed-off pockets that refuse to integrate with wider society.
They’re aided and abetted by woke lefties who are obsessed with Israel.
Most dangerously, they’re wilfully ignored by MPs who enjoy the votes that come with appeasing them.
The result of politicians in Australia and Britain turning a blind eye to these dangerous extremists is death.
Death that struck at the Heaton Park Synagogue on Yom Kippur, in my adopted home of England.
And death in my birthplace this Chanukah, at a joyful party by the Sydney sea.
Thankfully my family in Bondi are all ok – but they are also distraught with fear.
Until politicians, particularly Labour, wake up to this threat, more of these grim days will unfold.
Leave a sick, twisted ideology like extremist Islamism to rot, and consequences follow.
For some Labour MPs that may mean more votes – but for my deeply patriotic, quiet community, who just want to get on with life, it means murder.
I hope politicians choose the right path.
