According to wide-angle footage obtained by Australian news outlet the Sydney Morning Herald, Akram was later able to get back up and turn the weapon on the couple, firing at least two shots.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the couple, yet to be publicly identified, was seen in drone footage lying together dead on the pavement.
The mass shooting at Bondi Beach on Sunday by Akram, 50, and his son Naveed Akram, 24, has claimed the lives of at least 15 victims, including a 10-year-old girl.
This is the second reported instance of bravery involving bystanders who attempted to stop the shooting.
Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, a Sydney fruit shop owner, had wrestled a rifle from one of the gunmen by hiding behind parked cars before charging at him from behind, knocking him to the ground.
He is now recovering in the hospital after undergoing surgery for bullet wounds to his arm and hand.
