Three men, including a security guard praised for helping protect children during the attack, were killed after two teenage gunmen opened fire outside the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday, prompting a federal hate crime and counter-terrorism investigation.
San Diego police said the shooting took place shortly before midday on 18 May at the mosque complex in the Clairemont area. Authorities later found the two suspects, aged 17 and 18, dead inside a nearby vehicle from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Officials said no officers fired their weapons during the incident.
