A man who had been running a successful painting business, was killed by police on September 29 last year after a confrontation with two men in Castle Hill, NSW, during which he produced a loaded Glock pistol.
Deputy State Coroner Hugh Dillon said Mr El Kass, a skilled AFL player who competed at a first-grade level in Sydney after his family relocated from Melbourne, was “not a gangster” and his death raised “troubling questions”.
“This is undoubtably a tragedy … he was a decent citizen, who lived quietly without causing trouble,” he said.
I guess Mr El Kass and his loaded Glock pistol were just very misunderstood.
