Police respond to a shooting at a mosque in the San Diego area, with authorities reporting multiple victims and later identifying suspects who die at or near the scene. Several outlets say the attack occurs at or near the Islamic Centre of San Diego, located about 9 miles (14 km) north of downtown, and that police initially believe multiple people have been shot. Early reports describe an “active shooter” response and note that at least two people die, while other accounts report three deaths at the mosque complex.
Later updates from police sources state that the two suspects are dead, with some outlets specifying that two teen suspects are found dead nearby. At least one report describes the dead as including a security guard and two school staff members. One outlet characterizes the incident as potentially a hate crime, though the sources cited do not provide definitive confirmation of motive. One report also says daily prayers are held at the site. Across coverage, police continue to investigate the circumstances of the shooting and the identities of those killed.
