3 adults killed in shooting at Islamic Center of San Diego; both suspects dead: Police

Three adult men, one of whom was a security guard, were killed in a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday, authorities said.

The security guard appeared to play a "pivotal role" in keeping the shooting from "being much worse," police said at a news conference, noting that the victims were found out front of the center.

Both suspects, ages 17 and 19, are dead from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds, police said.

A law enforcement source not authorized to speak about the ongoing investigation told The Times that investigators found anti-Islamic writings inside the vehicle where their bodies were found.

The official also said investigators have located a suicide note linked to one of the suspects that refers to racial pride, and hate speech was also found inside the vehicle.

A 48 hour embargo on such is usually warranted. Maybe the first reports are accurate. Maybe. 48 hours gives time for things to settle out.

That said, I sincerely doubt those responsible did so with love in their hearts...

About two hours before the shooting at the mosque, San Diego police received a call involving one of the suspects, about a runaway juvenile, according to Wahl. The teen's mother reported that "several of her weapons" and her vehicle were missing, he said. The mother also found a note, Wahl said, the contents of which the police chief did not share.

I'm not surprised, I get a lot of videos, about how evil Muslims are. How they're taking over America and other countries. We must do something about it. Sadly ,they believe these lies, they don't research.That they are spewing. I get this all time , from Conservative Christians ( Trump supporters). Since, I don't support their hate speech and lies. I've been told, that I should become Muslim and live in their country. That America has bombed to rumble. Let's not forget about the school bombing , that happened, and kill a lot of kids, when America invaded Iran . These teens only did, what they were told to do.

I know everything is politics here, but does anyone think that maybe, just maybe, there should be some respect for the dead, if only for a few hours, and we stay off whatever hobby horse we happen to have for that long? Because I had to delete a retort to the comment above before I hit the post button, and really, right at this moment, neither is appropriate.

The perpetual too soon situation.

No.

For one thing, I don’t think there’s anything disrespectful about a bunch of anonymous randos arguing amongst ourselves about the situation. If we had a national platform and our arguments were likely to be shoved in the faces of the families, then maybe. But in the context of CF, no.

Second, there are mass shootings in this country virtually every day. Most are gang related rather than “hate” related, but they’re still common. Waiting would mean we’d never talk about anything.

I do think it’s prudent to wait for details before jumping to conclusions.

If that’s how you want to roll then do so.
