    Mr Ahmed, who was wearing a white T-shirt, was shot twice in the incident and was due to have surgery, his cousin, Mustafa, has revealed.

    Who shot him? I’m assuming the terrorist. Or was it the cops?

        This doesn’t clear up whether it was the police who shot him or not…

      Yeah, I’m a little unclear on that, too. It seems like he disarmed the first shooter, and the second shooter must have shot the hero from the bridge. I think that’s what happened. Somehow one shooter (Dad) ended up dead, and the other (Son) wounded, but I’m not sure which was which.
