3 Muslim men unalive at a mosque in San Diago USA | Islamic center san diego shooting https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/support_family_of_amin_abdullah_islamic_society_of_san_diego_martyr Amin Abdullah was the security guard. He was a father of eight. When two gunmen opened fire outside the building, Amin stood his ground — and the San Diego Police Chief publicly credited him with "playing a pivotal role in keeping this from being much worse." Teachers, staff, and more than a dozen children walked safely out of that building that afternoon because of what Amin did. He paid for that with his life
Nader Awad was a community member and neighbor of the center, and lived just across the street. When he heard the gunfire, he ran toward it, toward his wife and the community that was his entire life. He did not make it back across that street.
Abul Ezz (Mansour Kaziha) worked in the center's food store and was part of the daily rhythm of the masjid — one of the people who kept the community fed, welcomed, and at home in their own house of worship.
