What to know about a deadly attack by teen gunmen on a San Diego mosque
Police say the two teenage suspects died after the attack, and investigators are reviewing anti-Muslim writings and other evidence for a possible motive.
- On Monday, two teenage gunmen opened fire at the Islamic Center of San Diego, killing three men including a security guard before dying of apparent self-inflicted wounds.
- San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl reported that authorities raced to locate the suspects after a mother warned at 9:40 a.m. Monday that her son had run away with weapons.
- The mosque's security guard 'played a pivotal role' in preventing further casualties, Wahl said, while students at the onsite Al Rashid School were safely evacuated during the attack.
- Investigators are treating the shooting as a hate crime, with Wahl noting that evidence of 'generalized hate rhetoric' was found, though no specific threats were directed at the Islamic Center.
- Imam Taha Hassane emphasized the center's commitment to interfaith outreach, noting that a group of non-Muslims had been touring the facility just hours before the violence occurred.
