The Home Depot employee who was shot to death while trying to stop an in-store death was a Boy Scout leader who was engaged to be married later this summer, friends told KTVU.
Two family friends on Wednesday identified the 25-year-old killed on Tuesday at the Pleasanton store as Blake Mohs.
Rodgers said that Mohs was a "huge volunteer to our younger scouts" at Camp Royaneh in Cazadero along the Russian River. Mohs' wedding website shows he was supposed to be married on Aug. 12 at that exact camp site where he met his fiance while they were both volunteering with the scouts, Rodgers said.
Alameda County sheriff's deputies found the pair and detained them at around 2:30 p.m. near Interstate 580 and Golf Links Road. Home Depot said the company is "heartbroken over this senseless tragedy," referring to the employee by his first name of Blake.
