A security guard killed in a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego saved as many as 140 kids with his “heroic actions,” police said.
The guard, identified as Amin Abdullah, was one of three people killed Monday after two teenage gunmen attacked the mosque, which is the largest in the city. Abdullah “immediately observed the threat to everybody at the mosque” and exchanged fire with the attackers, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl told reporters Tuesday.
