Two parents of one of the teenagers accused in a San Diego mosque shooting say federal law enforcement warned them days before the attack that their son, Caleb Vazquez, was making concerning comments online, according to details cited in a recently filed lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges that a mental health facility failed to act on those concerns after receiving or being alerted to the warning. Sources describe the warning as relating to the teen’s online posts discussing school shootings on the dark web.
Different outlets focus on how the information was handled after it reached authorities and the family, with some emphasizing the timing of the FBI alert and others highlighting the alleged role of the mental health provider. The reporting is based on the lawsuit’s newly disclosed allegations rather than confirmed findings in a court decision.
