Overview
- Police said the attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday left three adults dead at the site and two suspected shooters dead in a nearby car.
- The suspects were believed to be 17 and 19 and appeared to die from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, according to Police Chief Scott Wahl.
- The FBI joined the case as authorities gather evidence and interview witnesses in a probe that officials said is being handled as a potential hate crime.
- All students and staff at the on-site school were accounted for and safe, and a security guard killed in the attack was credited with preventing greater loss of life.
- Officers received reports around 11:40 a.m., then cleared the campus room by room with as many as 100 officers before declaring the threat neutralized, and departments in other cities increased patrols at mosques as a precaution.
