BONDI BEACH, Sydney, Australia โ The waves still roll in at Bondi Beach. Kids run along the sand. Surfers paddle out. Tourists snap photos. At first glance, it feels like any other day.
For Ya'akov Tetleroyd, however, this place will never be the same. "After I was shot, I was bleeding very heavily, very heavily," he recalled.
He remembers the shock, blood, and confusion as a bullet tore through his elbow during the December 14 attack. "I'm fortunate that the doctor saved my arm and my life, and I'm here today," he told CBN News.
Sadly, his father, Borris Ya'akov Tetleroyd, is not.
"In this world we mourn, that's the way of the world, we mourn, and it's a sad thing, and it's a tragic thing," said Tetleroyd.
