Authorities are investigating a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego as a hate crime after three people were killed and two teenage suspects died from apparently self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The incident occurred shortly before midday prayers on Monday at the mosque, which is the largest in San Diego County.
Suspects and Investigation
The suspects, aged 17 and 18, were found dead at the scene. The mother of one suspect had called police about two hours prior, reporting her son missing along with several weapons and her vehicle. Police were searching for the teenagers when they received a 911 call from the Islamic Center. The FBI has set up a tip line and is seeking information from the public.
