    As it became clear a gunman was on the loose, Cmdr Jirus and a man he had just met tried to help friends and colleagues out of the building. They were standing outside when two shots rang out.



    "One hit him. The other one - it didn't hit me," says Cmdr Jirus. "I looked down. The other guy's dead."
