As a gunman opened fire Wednesday at a Northern California light rail yard, Taptejdeep Singh rushed out of an office where his co-workers were hiding. He wanted to help them escape, they told his family.
Singh, 36, frantically called others to warn them. He ran through the building, trying to secure it. He helped a woman hide in a control room, The Mercury News reported. Then he was gunned down in a stairway.
Singh s brother, Karman Singh, said in a statement Thursday that his family was comforted hearing how he spent his final moments trying to keep others safe.
