" Tourists have been spotted taking inappropriate selfies on a beach in Sousse, Tunisia, where horrific shootings took place just days ago, killing over thirty British people. Casualties include beauty blogger Carly Lovett, 24, who was on holiday with her fianc\u00E9 Liam Moore, 26, and three generations of the Evans family, from the West Midlands. Many others are still reported missing and nearly 5,000 tourists are thought to have cut their holiday short, after the shocking and scary events. Among those seen taking photos at the scene of the tragedy was holidaymaker Amran Hussain, 29, an NHS delivery driver, who stood for the Labour party in North East Hampshire during the recent election. He posed with friends in front of tributes laid out on the beach and even used a selfie stick. Obviously, it&amp;#039;s not always possible to tell exactly what&amp;#039;s happening from a photo \u2013 local members of staff from nearby hotels, who formed a &amp;#039;human shield&amp;#039; in an effort to protect tourists, were criticised on social media for &amp;#039;not taking action&amp;#039;. In reality, they were overheard telling the gunman, &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll have to get past us and we&amp;#039;re Muslims,&amp;quot; \u2013 their bravery saved countless lives.  When speaking to the MailOnline, Amran explained his decision by saying:  &amp;quot;Selfies are not banned. I don&amp;#039;t see anything wrong with it. We weren&amp;#039;t capturing a happy moment, we were very distressed after what happened and went down to the beach for 30 minutes to show solidarity. &amp;quot;We laid flowers and wrote a tribute and prayed to those who lost their lives in the horrific massacre. &amp;quot;We would have asked someone else to take a picture of us, but we were in the moment and we wanted to take a picture with the tribute and flowers we had put down. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been taken completely out of context. It was all very upsetting, we just wanted to have a reminder of what happened. I just happened to be using a selfie stick as that is what I always use.&amp;quot;  Amran also later apologised for accidentally causing offence and promised that was never his intention when taking the picture.  Our thoughts are with the friends and family of all those involved in the shootings. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
