Police say two teenage suspects open fire at the Islamic Center of San Diego, killing three men before both suspects die in the attack.

Reporting also characterises the suspects as teenagers and notes that they are believed to have died by the end of the shooting. Authorities continue to gather information about the victims, the attackers, and the circumstances of the attack as the case remains under investigation.
