Teenage San Diego mosque shooters were found dead with gas can with ‘Nazi’ sticker on it and ‘hate speech written on their guns’ after they killed three people in rampage

Sources said two young suspects in a shooting at a mosque in San Diego were found dead in a vehicle containing a gas canister with guns emblazoned with Nazi images and hate speech.

A law enforcement source told the NY Post that anti-Islamic writings were found in the car and ‘hate speech’ was written on the weapons used in the attack.

At the scene where the suspects’ bodies were found, there was also a shotgun and a gasoline can with an ‘SS’ label next to it.

After killing three victims outside the house of worship on Monday, both shooters died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

They were identified as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez., According to NBC News.

This is the first time police have received a call about a ‘runaway child,’ officials said at a news conference Monday night.

The young attackers began firing bullets outside the San Diego Islamic Center around 11:40 a.m. on Monday.

But police were already searching for the two teenagers after one of their mothers called officers to report that her son had fled with “several guns” and his vehicle, Chief Scott Wahl said at a news conference.

Cain Clark, 17, was one of two teenagers who opened fire at a mosque in California and committed suicide on Monday.

He also found a note left behind by his son. ‘This started to trigger a bigger threat assessment picture,’ he said.

‘After talking to my mother [she] “He started piecing together bits of information over a long period of time,” he said.

‘The information it collected and transmitted to us began to raise the threat level…’

Wahl said the call came around 9:42 a.m., when the unidentified mother began voicing concerns about her son, who she said was suicidal.

His mother told police the teen left with a friend and they were both wearing camouflage. Wahl said this was “not consistent with what we would typically see in a suicidal person.”

Police stated on their radios shortly after the incident that both teenagers were wearing camouflage clothing and that the car they were driving was a 2018 BMW X1 SUV.

A police officer said on the radio that ‘weapons stolen from the house’ included a 9mm pistol, a shotgun and a mini 14.

Officers then used every resource at their disposal to locate the teens in the stolen car, including an automatic license plate reader, which placed them in the Clairemont area.

As a precaution, Wahl said he assigned officers to a local shopping mall and Madison High School, where Clark attended classes virtually. According to NBC San Diego.

District officials stated that Clark is ready to graduate this month and that he attended the district’s virtual online school ‘iHigh Virtual Academy’ but joined Madison’s wrestling team for the 2024-2025 season.

“While we were gathering this information and trying to determine the whereabouts of these individuals, we received a call around 11:43 a.m. that there was an active shooter at the Islamic Center,” Wahl said.

Officers arrived on scene within four minutes and found three people shot to death outside the building; among them was security guard Amin Abdullah, who was hailed as a hero after taking action to protect others.

His friend, Anees Faraj, a security guard who did not work at the mosque, described the events as shocking and confirmed that Amin was the guard who died.

Police Chief Wahl said Amin and his actions helped prevent an even more deadly attack.

He added: ‘‘His actions were heroic and undoubtedly saved lives today.’

Emin Abdullah, father of 8 children, was among those killed in the attack.

Police officers arrived on the scene in just four minutes as they began searching for the teenagers.

About 100 police officers then scoured the mosque for any signs of the shooters and broke down the doors as they evacuated the on-campus Al Rashid school, which serves students from kindergarten through third grade.

However, the young people had already fled the scene. While escaping, shots were opened at a landscape architect working on a house.

TV footage from the helicopter showed armed response teams gathered outside a building and an unidentified man lying in a pool of blood.

The mosque imam confirmed that no children were injured during the attack.

‘The whole school is safe. “All children, all staff and teachers are safe outside the Islamic Centre,” Imam Taha Hassane said in a video update posted on Facebook shortly after the attack.

‘We have a few injuries, it’s not confirmed yet. There is no threat at this time, but we ask everyone to stay away from the Islamic Center of San Diego.’

After police set up a reunion area at the San Diego Clairemont Seventh-day Adventist Church, panicked parents were seen rushing to the scene to pick up their children.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said he and his wife were ‘horrified by today’s violent attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego, where families and children gather and neighbors worship in peace and fellowship.’

‘Today, this community area was shattered by gunfire,’ he said in a statement.

“California extends our deepest condolences to the families and communities impacted by today’s shooting,” the governor continued.

‘Worshippers anywhere need not fear for their lives. Hate has no place in California, and we will not tolerate acts of terrorism or intimidation against faith communities.

‘Thank you to the brave law enforcement and first responders who took swift action to protect children and worshipers.

‘To the Muslim community of San Diego: California stands with you.’

President Donald Trump also described the attack as a “terrible situation.”

He said he had been briefed on the incident but promised: ‘We will look back on it very strongly.’
