Hero Who Saved 200 Lives In Kenyan Shopping Mall Kills Two Gunmen Despite Being Shot Twice In The Leg

Dominic Troulan, 54, who was awarded the
George Cross for saving hundreds of lives
in the 2013 Westgate mall terror attack, has
killed two people who ambushed him in
Nairobi, Kenya.



The former Marine was attacked & shot
twice in the leg by unknown gunmen
riding on a motorbike. According to what
his friend told The Sun, Troulan had been
walking by the road and had a backpack
with him when two men on a motorbike
pulled over and pulled out their weapons
simultaneously.



"Dom shot the first guy twice, and then the
driver ran at him shooting, so he put a
couple of rounds into him too," the friend
described the incident.




The gunmen succeeded in escaping on
their bike while Troulan checked himself
into a hospital to have the bullets removed.




The gunmen are believed to have died later
of their wounds.




Troulan, became the first civilian to win the
George Cross in decades. He had been in
the military for 30 years then retired as a
major.



He went on to become a security
consultant in Kenya and was able to save
over a hundred people when Al-Shabaab
terrorists attacked the Westgate mall and
took civilians hostage.




Troulan had been
contacted by a friend who asked him to
help go to the mall under attack and help
rescue his wife and daughter.



Troulan got
to the mall, armed with only a pistol, located
and rescued the two women to safety, then
went back into the mall several times to
save more trapped civilians.




67 people
were killed by Al-Shabaab in that attack and
more people would have died were it not
for Troulan.



After winning the award, he remained in
Kenya working as a security consultant
without issues until the recent attack
where he found himself in danger again.




Troulan does not believe the attack on him
is a reprisal from the Islamic fanatics.



He
believes it was much more likely a robbery
gone wrong.



The Foreign Office said they
know of the attack on Trouland but were
not contacted by him after the shooting.
