Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Deadly Shooting at San Diego Mosque Leaves Five Dead
Caption: Deadly Shooting at San Diego Mosque Leaves Five Dead. A tragic shooting at a mosque in San Diego has left five people dead, including two teenage suspects. Police say two gunmen opened fire outside the Islamic Center of San Diego shortly before noon on Monday, killing three men affiliated with the mosque. One of the victims was a security guard who officials say may have prevented an even bigger tragedy. The two suspects, aged 17 and 19, were later found dead inside a vehicle from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Children attending the mosque’s day school were safely evacuated and all accounted for. Authorities are treating the attack as a possible hate crime, and the FBI has joined the investigation, although police say a motive has not yet been confirmed. The attack happened just days before the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha and amid heightened tensions linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States. Investigators are still working to determine exactly what led to the violence. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
