Parents of Caleb Vazquez, one of two teenagers accused in a San Diego mosque shooting, say a mental health facility failed to act on an FBI warning issued days before the attack, according to reporting from Canadian and UK outlets.
The outlets say federal law enforcement reached the parents with concerns about Vazquez’s online comments shortly before the shooting. They allege the warning was not properly heeded by the mental health system involved with his care.
Both reports frame the claim around a possible gap between information provided by law enforcement and decisions made by mental health professionals. They do not agree on additional details beyond the existence of the FBI contact and the parents’ allegation about what followed. The coverage focuses on the parents’ account of events as investigations and legal proceedings continue.
