Ahmed's stunning heroism gained widespread attention after dash cam footage showed him jumping from behind a parked car onto one of the gunmen's backs, eventually wrenching the gun from the assailant's hands.

Letters: Rash of shootings reflect a lack of standards

The last 30 years have seen heinous mass shootings of innocents become "ho-hum" events of everyday life - from Columbine (1999) to Sandy Hook (2012) schools; to just-engaged 20-year-old-Israelis walking (2025) in Washington, D.C.; to Laney college football coach John Beam (November 2025). Mental health issues do occur; 100 years ago, such shootings didn't. Grievances exist, but why think cold-blooded murder solves anything?
