2016 Munich shooting
Thamina was in Munich at the time of the 2016 shooting, and like her father, she took video of the event and posted it online. She later tweeted that anyone was free to use the footage she posted.[2] She did not mention her father in the interviews she gave online, but mentioned her dad "happened to record video footage" in Nice in an interview she gave about the attacks to the Duke Chronicle later in July.[3]</ref>
