Ahmed al-Ahmed, the hero who tackled the Bondi beach gunman, is recovering well from his gunshot wounds and may soon leave the hospital.

A French national, Damien Guerot, who bravely confronted a knife-wielding attacker in a Sydney shopping mall, has been offered permanent residency in Australia after his visa was set to expire. Guerot, hailed as a hero for his actions, used a barrier post to deter the assailant, who killed six people and injured others before being shot dead by police. Australian officials, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, have praised Guerot's bravery and offered him permanent residency, with the possibility of becoming an Australian citizen in the future. The attack is not linked to terrorism, and just days later, another stabbing at an Assyrian church in Sydney is being investigated as a potential act of terrorism.
