		</div><p>The father of the gunman who shot dead 38 people in the Tunisia beach massacre has said he is “ashamed” of his son’s actions.</p>
<p>Speaking to ITV News soon after being released by police, Hakim<br />
Rezgui said that when he first heard the news he could not “comprehend” it.</p>
<p>He also said that he was “sorry” for all the lives that had been lost.</p>
<p>Kalashnikov-wielding student Seifeddine Rezgui, 23, targeted western tourists on the beach in Sousse at the RIU Imperial Marhaba and the RIU Bellevue.</p>
<p>Mr Rezgui said: “My god, I am so shocked. I don’t know who has contacted him, influenced him or who has put these ideas in his head. He has new friends who got him into this.”</p>
<p>He added: “My son had no problem with anyone. But I don’t know who has changed his mind, influenced him and who has warped his mind.”</p>
<p>Mr Rezgui continued: “I wish there had been no victims, no one hurt. I wish it had never happened. Because when I see the victims I think it could have been my own family.</p>
<p>“I had no idea and I am really sorry. I am upset to see those victims. I feel the loss of the families so strongly. I feel like I have died along with the victims.</p>
<p>“I am so ashamed for me, for his mother, for all our family.”</p>
<p>Describing the attack as a &#8220;catastrophe&#8221;, Mr Rezgui explained that he rarely saw his son who had made new friends and spent all his time at university or at the coffee shop.</p>
<p>Adding that he had no idea of the plans Seifeddine was making, Mr Rezgui said: “My son lost his life and he has lost our lives too. He has lost his life, his studies, his future and he’s ended our lives too.”</p>
<p>The gunman’s aunt, Zara Rezgui, described him as a “blank page”, but a kind, calm, “normal boy” who spent most of the time alone.</p>
<p>She said: “He was a blank page, he didn’t tell us anything about what he was planning.</p>
<p>“The first time we knew about it was when we saw it on the news.</p>
<p>“We are shocked. God bless him. God is punishing us.</p>
<p>“His mother and father brought him up to be a good boy, work hard and get a good job. He never spoke about his secret.”</p>
