"Reuven Morrison, 62, was shot dead after trying to stop the gunmen, his daughter Sheina Gutnick told US broadcaster CBS News in a report published on Monday. He had jumped the second the shooting started. He managed to throw bricks. He was screaming at the terrorist and protecting his community, she said. If there is one way for him to go on this Earth, it would be fighting a terrorist."
"Morrison, who originally came to Australia from the former USSR to escape anti-Semitic persecution, was later shot and killed, according to Gutnick. [Australia] is where he was going to have a family, where he is going to live a life away from persecution, she said. And for many years, he did do that; he lived a wonderful, free life. Until Australia turned on him."
