San Diego Mosque Shooting Kills 3; Police Probe Possible Hate Crime
Two teenage gunmen opened fire at the Islamic Center of San Diego shortly before noon on Monday, killing three men outside the mosque, including a security guard, before the suspects, ages 17 and 19, were found dead in a nearby car from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds, police said. San Diego officials said there was no ongoing threat to the community.
Police are treating the attack as a possible hate crime, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said, and the FBI is assisting the investigation. All children attending a day school at the mosque complex were accounted for and safe, according to police. Investigators found anti-Islam writings in the suspects' car, the New York Times reported.
