Civilian Hero Who Subdued Sydney Gunman May Receive $3 Million in Donations
According to monitoring, on December 14 local time, a fatal shooting occurred at Bondi Beach in Sydney. Amid the chaos, a fruit shop owner named Ahmed bravely stood up. Risking his life, he fought with the gunman, was shot several times, and ultimately managed to subdue him. Ahmed was then taken to the hospital for treatment and is now being hailed as a "hero" online.
Soon after the incident, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman quickly announced a donation campaign and contributed $99,999 to the donation page in his own name, drawing global attention and follow-up donations.
Today, Polymarket launched a market titled "How much will be raised in the Australian hero donation campaign by December 16 (1:00 PM Beijing time, UTC+8)?" As of press time, the donation page shows that the total amount raised has exceeded $2.19 million.

As the event continues to gain traction globally, the market generally believes that supportive donations from around the world will continue to pour in.
