A shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego killed three people, including a security guard. Two teen suspects were found dead in a car near the mosque. Police reported a heavy presence in the area and said the incident was being treated as a hate crime because of the Islamic Center’s location. San Diego’s police chief Scott Wahl stated that the hate-crime consideration would remain in place until it was not supported. California Governor Gavin Newsom reacted by saying he was horrified by the violent attack and that worshippers should not fear for their lives. He said hate has no place in California and that the state stands with the Muslim community.

Three men were killed in the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, one of whom was a security guard who played a "pivotal role" in preventing a much worse outcome, according to Wahl."
