Hero!-----Abdul Aziz stopped the shooter at the Linwood mosque with a credit card machine and an empty gun

Abdul Aziz stopped the shooter at the Linwood mosque with a credit card machine and an empty gun
"...Aziz heard shots outside and ran toward them. 
He wanted to have something in his hand to use as a weapon so, as he passed a table, he picked up a credit card machine. 
When he got outside he saw the shooter dressed in armor and a balaclava face mask and he saw two people who had already been shot lying on the ground. 
The shooter was trying to retrieve another gun from his car so Aziz threw the credit card machine at him. 
The attacker pulled out a gun and started shooting at Aziz who was able to take cover behind another car.

“I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t have any fear on me or anything,” Aziz said. “My only concern was to save other people from there…,” he added.

At that point, Aziz saw another body and beside it was a shotgun the shooter had dropped. 

There was no ammunition left for the shotgun but picked it up anyway. 
“And I was screaming to the guy ‘Come, I’m here,’ I tried to put his focus on me,” Aziz said. 
The shooter went inside and began shooting while Aziz was outside: “And I screamed at him ‘Come on I’m outside, come on I’m outside.’ I [was] swearing at him and everything.”

“Then I saw him, he dropped the gun [and] he run. 

He ran and I chased him. 

I chased him [and] he run to his car and sit in the driver’s seat. 

When he sit on the driver’s seat I didn’t know if he had another gun or things. 

He might get another gun to shoot me. 

That shotgun I had in my hands, I throw like an arrow on him. 

It bust his window…” 

Aziz clarified that when the car window broke the shooter may have believed he’d been shot at. 

That was enough confrontation for the shooter. 
He cursed at Aziz and drove away. 
Aziz chased him down the street with the empty shotgun.
