Hawzah News Agency (Christcurch, New Zealand) -A survivor of the shootings at Al Noor Mosque and the man he says saved his life that day had an emotional reunion in Christchurch's Hagley Park after today's National Remembrance Service there.
Christchurch builder Jacob Murray told TVNZ1's Seven Sharp he had been driving past the Deans Avenue mosque at the time of the attack two weeks ago, "on the way to the dump with my van full of rubbish".
Inside the mosque, Osman Ahmed had just been joking with his mate Hussein, who would be killed in just moments.
"This man is in the middle of the room, like, vacuuming everyone with a semi-automatic," Mr Ahmed said.
Shot in the back under a pile of the dead, Mr Ahmed thought it was the end.
Mr Murray said the gunman "had just jumped in his car and was driving down the road shooting people out the window as I went past him. And I pulled over, put my hazard lights on, jumped out. And there was a lady lying on the side of the road with blood coming out of her mouth".
Mr Ahmed said: "Jacob came up and managed with a towel to hold my wound in place and sit me down onto the chair. I told him I'll walk. 'No, no, no,' he said, 'don't walk, we'll carry you out'."
From there, Mr Murray helped Mr Ahmed into a car, which took him to hospital.
Mr Ahmed's daughter, Mulki Abdiwahab, was also in the mosque that day with her father.
"Ever since he was discharged, he's been talking about 'the guy, he saved my life'. It wasn't until we saw him on TV doing an interview or something, he said, 'That's him! He's the guy that saved my life'," Mulki said.
She helped jack up today's meeting, where, mid-conversation, her father spotted Jacob Murray, went over to him and they hugged.
"Thank you, brother," Mr Ahmed said.
Asked by Mr Murray if he is in pain, he replied: "Because of you guys our pain healed up very quickly."
Daughter Mulki said: "You can never thank someone enough for, like, saving your dad."
As it turns out, both men run religious youth programmes, and both plan to spread the good word.
"The devil is like a wind. But when we are together, hand to hand, he will not have any chance to come into us," Osman Ahmed said.
