According to <strong>San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl<\/strong>, the suspects, aged 17 and 19, appeared to have died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The three adult victims were pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting occurred at a location that houses a pre-K through third-grade Islamic school. Chief Wahl described the event as a community&#8217;s worst nightmare and assured residents that there is no ongoing threat. The FBI is also involved in the investigation to determine the motives behind the attack.<\/p>\n<p>San Diego Mayor <strong>Todd Gloria<\/strong> emphasized the city&#8217;s commitment to ensuring the safety of the Muslim community. This incident follows a previous act of vandalism at the mosque in October 2023, when <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.cair.com\/press-release\/cair-sd-calls-for-hate-incident-investigation-into-vandalism-of-san-diego-mosque\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">flyers and blue rags resembling the flag of Israel were found on the property<\/a>. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) had called for an investigation into that incident, citing heightened fear and concern among mosque attendees.<\/p>\n<p>The San Diego Police Department continues to investigate the shooting as a possible hate crime, with support from CAIR and the Muslim Leadership Council of San Diego. The community is encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to local authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a tragic incident at the Islamic Center of San Diego, five people, including two suspects, were found&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":805967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5134],"tags":[24168,5229,1582,276,10866,327979,327912,24730,3549,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-805966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-ai-assisted","tag-america","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-community-safety","tag-islamic-center","tag-mosque-shooting","tag-police-investigation","tag-san-diego","tag-sandiego","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116597733975228117","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=805966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/805967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=805966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=805966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=805966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
