The private security guards handled themselves bravely in the pursuit and likely prevented a far worse attack:
The video clearly shows Ahmed Mahmoud Khatib, 29, from Kafr Manda in the western Galilee, following the guards, Alex Nepelvich and Mikhail Popov, as they patrolled the narrow cobblestone streets of the Old City. Then, as the guards start to enter a kiosk, Khatib snatches Popov’s gun and runs away.
The guards give chase through the crowded street, and Khatib tries to shoot Popov, but failed since the pistol was locked, the video shows. The two men scuffled and this time Khatib succeeded in shooting Popov, before fleeing.
“My weapon was taken from me by complete surprise, and then he is pointing the weapon at me with his face to me,” Popov, 31, recalled from his bed at Jerusalem’s Shaare Tzedek Medical Center.
“I jumped on him, and he cocked the gun, and at that second I grabbed his hands. At that minute he started shooting.”
Nepelvich is seen on the video standing next to a wall and shooting at the terrorist.
At first, Nepelvich failed to hit Khatib. After a resumed chase, Nepelvich caught up with Khatib and killed him.
