A Wichita State University student was among four people killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up in the parking lot of a Shiite mosque in eastern Saudi Arabia during Friday prayers.

Abduljaleel Alarbash, 22, was hailed as a hero after he and and his cousin halted the suicide bomber as he attempted to enter a crowded mosque in the port city of Dammam. It was the second such attack in as many weeks claimed by the Islamic State group.

Sounds like this guy was a hero. May have save multiple other lives doing what he did.

More than any time in recent history, America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

4 people were killed today near a Mosque in Saudi Arabia. WSU student Abduljaleel Alabash and his cousin are credited with halting the suicide bomber from entering the mosque. They HALTED the suicide bomber.

The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight. They're our students and our teachers and our parents and our friends.

The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels, but every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we're reminded that that capacity may well be limitless. This is a time for heroes. We will do what is hard. We will achieve what is great. This is a time for heroes and we reach for the stars. God bless their memory and may God Bless us all.
