One of the three people killed by two teen shooters at a San Diego mosque was a beloved security guard who acted quickly to prevent more deaths, authorities and community members said.
Amin Abdullah was a security guard who greeted everyone that arrived at the Islamic Center of San Diego with a smile and the traditional Muslim greeting in Arabic of as-salamu alaikum or “peace be upon you,” according to Mahmood Ahmadi, a longtime attendee of the mosque.
