"I saw a civilian taking action, moving from passive to reactive. Obviously, it looks like it was one of the guests, it looks like it could have been one of the Chabad members. I can't tell if he's got Tzitzit or Tallitim, or if he's a member of that particular gathering for Hanukkah at the beach there, but he moved into action."
"He's not reacting, he's not waiting. You know, when you've got two forces and one person is more aggressive-, first of all, he had the element of surprise, came up around that vehicle, got on the individual, was able to strip the weapon away, may have some training, may not, but pushing action and being aggressive is the only way to deal with somebody who's actively engaging in firing a weapon."
A video shows a man sneaking around a car, attacking a shooter from behind, wrestling the firearm away and aiming it at the attacker. The civilian moved from passive to reactive, used the element of surprise, and may have been one of the gathering's guests. The aggressive intervention stripped the weapon from the shooter and halted immediate firing, with the civilian assuming substantial personal risk. Immediate, forceful action is presented as the necessary method to stop someone actively shooting. Eleven people were killed while celebrating the first night of Hanukkah at the beach. One gunman died during the attack and another remained in critical condition.
