San Diego Police rolled out Monday afternoon after reports of an active shooter at the Islamic Center of San Diego. That kicked off a massive law enforcement response and evacuations around the mosque.
The San Diego Police Department said officers were on scene at the Islamic Center in the 7000 block of Eckstrom Avenue and told everyone to stay the hell away while they locked the place down.
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.
As officers set up a SWAT response for a nearby school campus, they also got reports of gunfire a couple blocks away. That brought more cops rushing to a second scene at the same time.
At least three adult victims, including a security guard, were killed following an active shooter incident near the Islamic Center of San Diego in the Clairemont area on Monday.
The security guard shot to death “played a pivotal role” in stopping more casualties, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said at a press conference.
Police confirmed two male suspects, aged 17 and 19, died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.On Monday, the San Diego Police Department said officers responded to the center located at 7050 Eckstrom Avenue following reports of gunfire.
“The threat at the Islamic center has been neutralized,” the police department said on social media. “Media staging has been established as the Northwest Corner of Lindbergh Park.”
An eyewitness told CBS he called 911 after hearing what he believed were about 30 gunshots.“We were concerned and putting out heads down inside the house,” the man said to a local reporter.
