Police say two suspects attacked a San Diego, California, area mosque Monday, killing three people before they apparently committed suicide.

Local police responded to the scene of a reported active shooter at the Islamic Center of San Diego in Clairemont, Fox 5 San Diego reported. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria confirmed the threat was neutralized in a post on X, thanking police, fire and “law enforcement partners” who responded to the incident.

The threat at the Islamic center has been neutralized.

Media staging has been established as the Northwest Corner of Lindbergh Park.

“The threat at the Islamic center has been neutralized. Media staging has been established as the Northwest Corner of Lindbergh Park. (4141 Ashford Street, SD, Ca, 92111),” the San Diego Police Department posted at 4:06 p.m. Eastern time.

Video from NBC San Diego posted on social media showed what appeared to be one body lying in a pool of blood outside the mosque. Law enforcement sources said two suspects were dead, according to NBC San Diego.

San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl confirmed during a press conference that one of the victims was a security guard and that the two suspects in the attack were 17 and 19.

“We are safe. The entire school is safe. All the kids, all the staff, and the teachers are safe out of the Islamic Center,” Imam Taha Hassane of the Islamic Center of San Diego said in a video posted to Facebook. “We have a few casualties, not confirmed yet. There is no threat at this moment, but we want everyone to stay away from the Islamic Center of San Diego.”

“The scene at 7050 Eckstrom Ave is still active but contained. We have significant resources on scene at this time. We have established a reunification location at 4125 Hathaway Street, SD, CA 92111,” the San Diego Police Department posted on X at 3:53 p.m. Eastern time.

Getting anything resembling truth from the ‘authorities’ will take forever. It’s already a ‘hate crime’.

FBI is writing up the manifesto now.

They wouldn’t be “safe” if their butts were home in Iran, Iraq or Afghanistan. It’s too bad they had to drag their religious wars with them here to America.

Seeing the news video of children putting their hands on the shoulders of the kid in front of them as they marched out with police escorts, was sad. Thank God they weren’t shot.

My age group used to learn “duck and cover” and to go down under our desks in the elementary schools. Nuclear war survival, allegedly.

Theirs today has to learn to put their hands in the air to keep from being sprayed with gunfire along with the attackers. After their “stranger danger” training to not believe pedophiles.

Shadow gubmint psyop attempting to get sympathy for the muslims.

Yes, that’s how cynical I have become.

No public shooting is EVER what it is made out to be.

No sympathy here. Violence is worship for the Muslims.

I thought for sure at least CNN would obsessly cover this story but they are reporting on the Epstein files. News Nation is obsessing on the Simi Valley fire. Fox is obsessing on Trump calling off an attack on Iran.

Something tells me the newsies already know the identity of the killers along with other inconvenient proclivities.
