Situation developing. . . . . . 

Active shooter threat at San Diego Islamic Center neutralized, police say

San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said Monday that the two suspects involved in the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego were teenagers, ages 17 and 19, and both are dead.
Wahl told reporters investigators believe the suspects died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds and said no officers fired their weapons during the incident, though the investigation remains ongoing.
Authorities said three adult victims were killed at the Islamic Center. Wahl identified one of the victims as a security guard at the mosque, saying the guard “played a pivotal role” in preventing the attack from becoming even worse.
Officials did not publicly identify the other victims or provide additional details about them during the briefing.

San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said Monday that both suspects involved in the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego are dead and that all children connected to nearby schools are safe.
 
Wahl said police received the initial call reporting an active shooter at 11:43 a.m. Officers arrived within four minutes and immediately encountered what appeared to be three deceased victims outside the mosque.

So five dead or two dead or three dead? Also was this a hate crime or just a murder suicide? 

I guess we'll have to wait and see what the official narrative is after CAIR tells the media what to say.

I think it was two men (don't care if one of the shooters was 17) who wanted to cause shit.

I just read that too. Looks like one of the kids was suicidal and wanted to go out either big or by police hands.

Madison High School racial supremacists yet to be specifically identified. 

San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl confirmed that the suspects' vehicle contained anti-Islamic writings, hate speech, and a note expressing racial pride. However, authorities have not yet formally classified the specific political, ideological, or organizational motivations behind the attack, as the FBI is still actively investigating the evidence.

I know more about Clairemont High (AKA Ridgemont High) and neither school were particularly racist, or even overwhelmingly white. A lot of Asians in Clairemont. Also a large Jewish population towards UTC. Could be Asian supremacy, though I doubt it. Could also be zionist supremacy, which might be uncomfortably on point.

That is the same Islamic center of 9/11 Hijacker lore.

Today, our city was shaken by a violent act of hate at the Islamic Center of San Diego and my heart is with every person touched by this tragedy. No one in our city should ever have to fear for their safety in a house of faith and a place of learning.

I am grateful to the San Diego Police Department, our Fire-Rescue personnel, and every first responder who moved toward danger to bring this threat to an end.

I know this tragedy is particularly hurtful for the Muslim community as it comes at the start of Dhul-Hijjah, one of Islam’s holiest periods leading into Hajj and Eid al-Adha — a time of deep faith, reflection, and unity. Hate has no home in San Diego, and an attack on any one of our communities — on any San Diegan because of who they are, what they believe, or how they pray — is an attack on all of us.

And let there be no misunderstanding for anyone who would seek to bring this kind of violence to our city: They will be met with the full force of the law and the full strength of a city that refuses to be turned against itself. Anyone who seeks to do harm here should understand the response will be swift and you will be brought to justice.

The Godawful Mayor of San Diego, Todd Gloria.

Though I agree with what his virtue signaling said completely.

•The kid stole his mom's car and guns.
• Mom called police to report him as suicidal.
• Madison HS (her son's school) was warned.
• The shootings started before big brother could find them.
• They found anti-Islam, racial pride writings in suspect vehicle.
• They found racial epithets carved on firearms again.

I think suicide is a byproduct of racial martyrdom. Usually is. And it might be on the right again. 

Also, this is REALLY inactive for a mass shooting thread... makes me sad outrage of religious violence is so politically selective.

When will our politicians mention, let alone address, the mental health aspect of most of society's dysfunction? 

The meltdown has become so prominent that I Im not sure it can be slowed down, much less reversed.

People need to unplug from the smothering social media that are flashpoints for all flavors of extremists.

If these troubled, unbalanced kids can't find some personal solace and direction in blue San Diego?

Where can they go?

Is it all part of the teen/young-adult coping-skills collapse? 

Being a kid is brutal enough... 

The world is a hard place,

there's gonna be some breakage and spoilage ...

We can try to minimize it, but it will never be eliminated, or it won't be in the short term. Im concerned for my daughters and thier children?

I don't know the answer; unfortunately, in my 60 years, there is an increasingly dangerous ratio of all-cause mental illness. We are so far removed from everybody getting thier individual utopian rose garden, we had better find DIFFERENT answers pronto.

Can't we all agree our health care, mental health, psychologists and psycharatrists and big Pharma "answers" might be as problematic as the mental health crisis itself?

Im sure there are some successes, but overall a grade D or C at best....

That's what happens when you alienate most of the Mods and members. We're "over there" discussing things.

Have no fear ! There will be the usual Anti Gun folks who'll come along and bash America as always.

That is not the reason, the reason is because it is obvious because of Trump's and Netanahayu's racist rhetoric and demonizing of other cultures and religions and where young people are easily radicalized and programmed into hating the 'new' boogeyman and where some also have easy access to guns along with not getting proper mental health treatment when suicidal tendencies were known to exist. Remove the guns from the home at the very least.

Why do we have to state the obvious?

"Civil rights organizations and research studies attribute a significant rise in anti-Muslim violence and hate crimes in the United States to Donald Trump’s rhetoric and policies, particularly his campaign proposal for a "complete and total shutdown of Muslims" and the subsequent travel ban.  Data from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Pew Research Center indicates that reported anti-Muslim hate crimes and bias incidents surged sharply following Trump’s 2016 campaign launch and election, with some studies noting a 90% increase in incidents in the five days after his initial ban proposal. 

The Southern Poverty Law Center and ABC News investigations found that perpetrators of various attacks explicitly cited Trump’s words as their inspiration, with reports documenting dozens of cases where attackers invoked the president to justify violence against Muslims, mosques, or perceived immigrants.  While some experts note that establishing a direct causal link is complex, the correlation between xenophobic political rhetoric and spikes in hate crime severity is well-documented, with groups like CAIR stating that Trump’s language "emboldened those who sought to express their anti-Muslim bias.""

Why are you bringing up information from organizations that paid for the raciest organizations they are supposedly fighting against? The money was donated to fight the KKK, not finance it.

Some under federal investigation at the moment and at least one of those you brought up is on a list of terrorist organizations.
