When surgeon Adib Khanafer arrived he was confronted with an image he’ll never forget. Absolutely heartbreaking. 💔 ChristchurchMosqueAttack
New Zealand Police Minister Stuart Nash said it was “extraordinary” Brenton Tarrant was caught by officers so quickly after the terrorist attack last Friday.“We are talking about a big city ... to have the guy arrested either within 20 minutes or 35 minutes, I think is extraordinary,” Mr Nash said.“These two guys pull this guy out but at the same time he was yelling, ‘I’ve got a bomb’ and shooting at the same time, so we overuse the word hero, but not in this case.
The two officers, who had just come from a training session, rammed his car off the road in order to stop him.It involved New Zealand police, the FBI, Australian police, and Five Eyes partners.“A focus [of the investigation] is to figure out if anyone else was supporting him in any way.” Vascular surgeon Adib Khanafer, who is also a father of four children aged 7-14, told reporters he was in an elective case at Christchurch Hospital when he received a call saying he was urgently needed in another theatre. When he arrived he was confronted with an image he’ll never forget — a four-year-old girl with gunshot injuries who was fighting for her life.
Dr Khanafer told reporters that helping her “was definitely the highlight of career as a vascular surgeon”. A week on from the attacks that shocked the world, the mosque where 42 people were gunned down could reopen just seven days after the shooting attack that became New Zealand’s worst mass killing and terrorist attack.
