Sons laud security guard dad in San Diego who saved children from mosque attackers

SAN DIEGO: The sons of a security guard killed while protecting children at the Islamic Center of San Diego remembered their father as a hero who died as he lived - putting others first. Police say Amin Abdullah, 51, a security guard at the largest mosque in San Diego County, sacrificed his life to keep 140 children inside the mosque school safe by engaging two gunmen in a shootout and transmitting the radio call that activated a security lockdown. Mosque elder Mansour Kaziha, 78, and Uber driver Nadir Awad, 57, a neighbor whose wife is a teacher at the mosque school, were also shot and killed in what is being investigated as a hate crime.
