Ahmed Iqbal Jahangir
Ahmed Iqbal Jahangir was a person that was in the mosque attack
Ahmed was a brave person because of what he did in the mosque attack
Ahmed was in a church in the back row of the men’s section on the 15th of March,
with the women partitioned off in a separate area immediately behind him. As he prayed, one of his Muslim brothers started shouting that someone was shooting. Without knowing where the shooter was, Jahangir immediately went to check on the women. “I just asked all the ladies to get down and hide in the corner. They’re not too far from the main door and I said, you all need to be quiet.”
He hoped that if they remained still and didn’t make a sound, the gunman might not even notice the separate partition. As he came back out, he glanced around - and found himself standing right in front of the shooter. There was no time to react. The man shot him and then Ahmed was on the ground.
Blood filled his mouth, he recalls. “After a while, I struggled a lot to keep myself awake and not go unconscious.” After what seemed like a long time, the shooting stopped. Police arrived, then paramedics. There was an ambulance ride - that much he remembers - and after that, oblivion.
Had the women tried to flee the same way he did, rather than stay huddled behind the partition, Jahangir believes many of them would have been gunned down too. “If the women had started coming from there, he would have shot everyone. By the grace of the almighty, most of the women were saved.”
That was the story of how Ahmed was brave and put other people in before he put himself
