A father of eight who was fatally shot while trying to protect a San Diego mosque from two young teen gunmen has been hailed as a hero who gave up his life while trying to save others.
Amin Aubdullah and two other staff members at the Islamic Center of San Diego were killed on Monday morning when two shooters stormed the mosque and opened fire.
Abdulllah, who was working security at the time of this shooting, made the ultimate sacrifice, his friend shared.
Each time he saw people, he mentioned that there was something so strange and asked them to close the doors.
The suspects included 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez, who were both found dead a few blocks away from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
During a press conference after this shooting, the police chief mentioned again how Abdullah played a crucial role in keeping this from being much worse.
