Two teenage shooters opened fire at a San Diego mosque on Monday, killing three men in an attack police are investigating as a hate crime. The two shooters later died a few blocks away from the mosque due to self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

There was no specific threat made against the Islamic Center of San Diego but authorities found evidence that the suspects engaged in “generalised hate rhetoric," San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said.

He declined to give more details, but said the “circumstances that led up to this” would come out in the days to come.
