‘Hate rhetoric’ belonging to teen gunmen discovered as pair are identified after opening fire on San Diego mosque and killing three

Police said two young suspects who opened fire at a mosque in San Diego wrote hate speech on their guns before carrying out the attack.

Following the shooting that killed three people on Monday, 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez were found dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

Officials told CNN It was stated that hate speech was written on one of the weapons used in the attack.

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

The mother of one of the teenagers reported that her son was suicidal and that some of his weapons were missing.

He also found a note left behind by his son. “That started to trigger a larger threat assessment,” Police Chief Scott Wahl said.

Police noted on their radios shortly after the incident that both teenagers were wearing ‘camouflage fatigues’ and stated 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.

One of the victims of Monday’s shooting was identified as security guard Amin Abdullah.

Investigators said they were also investigating anti-Islamic writings found in the vehicle.

One of those killed was security guard Emin Abdullah, father of eight children.

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.

On Monday night, Wahl said: ‘‘His actions were heroic and undoubtedly saved lives today.’

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 place of worship also houses the Al Rashid school. Children from kindergarten through third grade attend school.

Parents who panicked came to the scene to pick up their children after two young gunmen opened fire.

‘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 on Facebook.

‘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.’

The crowd of young students was seen being evacuated from the building by law enforcement.

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

While the terror was taking place, a woman was seen crouching outside the mosque, while many people were seen on the phone trying to get answers about what was happening.

According to its website, the Islamic Center is the largest mosque in San Diego County. It is approximately 14 kilometers north of downtown San Diego.
