I'll leave it at that for now."‌He did add, however, that one note discovered in the vehicle did not contain any specific threat to the mosque, or to any additional location or individual. Investigators have since travelled to a local high school, where one of the teens was a student, and a shopping mall to where the car they had used was tracked.The shooting took place after police said they received a call about a "runaway juvenile" from a worried mother, who said her son had left home with her car and several of her guns.‌Police had already launched a hunt for the two suspects when the attack at the Islamic centre began, and arrived to find three victims with gunshot wounds outside the building. Among the victims was a security guard employed at the centre who police said "played a pivotal role" in ensuring the attack was not "much worse". The guard has been identified locally as dad-of-eight Amin Abdullah.Mr Wahl told a press conference held following the shooting that it was "fair to say his actions were heroic", adding: "Undoubtedly he saved lives today."
