An online fundraiser for the security guard credited by police for heroic actions during Monday\u2019s shooting at a California mosque has raised a massive sum for the man\u2019s family less than a day after the near-tragedy.<\/p>\n

San Diego Police credit Amin Abdullah, a security guard at the Islamic Center of San Diego who was killed during the shooting, with playing a \u201cpivotal role\u201d in \u201cminimizing\u201d the tragedy after two teenage gunmen opened fire at the mosque. On LaunchGood, a Muslim-oriented version of crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe or GiveSendGo, a fundraiser for Abdullah\u2019s widow and eight children has raised over $1.6 million as of\u00a0 this writing.

\u201cAmin put himself between the gunmen and everyone inside,\u201d the fundraising page for Abdullah\u2019s family says. \u201cTeachers, staff, and more than a dozen children were walked safely out of that building by police that afternoon, hand in hand. They are alive because Amin did his job. He paid for that with his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video from a car\u2019s dashcam posted on X shows the suspected gunmen, 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez, firing at the mosque, the largest in San Diego County, and apparently receiving return fire from Amin. Multiple photos on Amin\u2019s Facebook page show him in a tactical vest carrying a semiautomatic pistol and multiple magazines.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl confirmed during a Monday\u00a0press conference\u00a0that Abdullah, who was one of the three people killed in the attack, \u201cplayed a pivotal role\u201d in preventing a higher death toll.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do believe the security guard was able to help at least minimize the situation to the front area of the mosque,\u201d Wahl told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, I think it\u2019s fair to say his actions were heroic,\u201d Wahl added. \u201cUndoubtedly, he saved lives today.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Clark and Vazquez were later found blocks away from the mosque with self-inflicted gunshot wounds, having apparently committed suicide after their attack. In a later\u00a0briefing, Wahl said that the mother of one of the two suspects in the attack called to report her son as a runaway and suicidal before later reporting that some weapons and her car were missing.<\/p>\n

In March, an armed security guard at a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, stopped a would-be active shooter from attacking. The would-be shooter, whose brother was a Hezbollah commander killed by Israeli forces in Lebanon, committed suicide.<\/p>\n
