Police were searching for teens behind San Diego mosque shooting before the bloodshed began
Police say two teenagers opened fire at the Islamic Center of San Diego, where evidence of generalized hate rhetoric is driving the hate-crime probe.
- On Monday, May 18, 2026, a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego left 5 people dead, including 2 teenage suspects ages 17 and 18 who took their own lives a few blocks away.
- Before the shooting, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said officers were searching for a suicidal teenager who had fled home with missing weapons and a stolen vehicle, with the attack occurring 2 hours later nearby.
- Security guard Amin Abdullah "played a pivotal role" in preventing further casualties, Wahl said, while the Islamic Center of San Diego remains closed until further notice after typically hosting 5 daily prayers.
- Investigators found evidence the suspects engaged in "generalized hate rhetoric," prompting authorities to investigate the shooting as a hate crime, with search warrants planned for Tuesday to piece together how the violence unfolded.
- Imam Taha Hassane called targeting a place of worship "extremely outrageous," while CAIR-San Diego Executive Director Tazheen Nizam stressed that no one should fear for their safety while attending prayers or studying at the center.
