   The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that Gilbert-Kaye’s husband, a physician, was in the synagogue when the gunshots started. Worshipers called to him to help victims and he began to do CPR on one until he realized it was his wife, Dr. Roneet Lev told the paper.

  The husband then fainted. Lev said Gilbert-Kaye had gone to the synagogue near San Diego to offer the Jewish prayer for the dead  known as the “Kaddish” for her mother, who recently passed away, the paper reported.
