Before the shooting at a San Diego mosque began, police were already looking for two teenagers who later are reported to be responsible for the attack. Multiple outlets say the search effort started earlier that day after concerns were raised by a parent. The Independent, Global News, and The Oregonian report that the mother of one of the teens contacted authorities, saying her son was suicidal and had run away. Police subsequently began scrambling to locate the two youths. Once the teenagers were found or the circumstances came to light, officials later connected them to the mosque shooting that killed three men. The reporting also indicates that the pursuit and the attack are treated as part of the same timeline, with police attempting to respond to the teens’ disappearance and the associated risk before gunfire occurred at the mosque. Across the sources, the central shared detail is that law enforcement had an ongoing effort to locate the teenagers prior to the bloodshed.
