Authorities say that, before they were killed, they slowed the shooters, sent out a warning and alerted police, allowing dozens of schoolchildren inside the mosque to scramble for safety. They're now hailed as heroes: a security guard with a winning smile, a storekeeper known for his lentil soup and the husband of a schoolteacher whose proud daughter said that when he heard gunfire, he ran toward it.

Authorities were prepared for the day, as two “Hampton Beach Takeover” events and several school skip days had been advertised on social media, Hampton Police Chief Alexander Reno told Boston.com in a statement. These “takeover” events typically “devolve into drinking, fighting, disorderly, and generally unsafe behavior,” he said. Authorities had already organized a crowd control response team, as several thousands of visitors were enjoying the beach, according to Reno.

Police said the shooting at the mosque was preceded by a call by the mother of one of the shooters to police in the morning saying that the boy had run away with her weapons and vehicle and that she feared he was suicidal. As police were searching for the boy, additionally alarmed by information that he was dressed in camouflage and had a companion, reports arrived of a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, some 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the city center.

Upon arriving at the compound, police encountered three dead adults, the presumed victims. One was a security guard, who police credited with stopping the shooting from being much worse. Nearby, after receiving calls about shots fired at a landscaper in the area, police found two male teenagers, aged 17 and 19, in a car, dead of apparent gunshot wounds. Police described the teens as the "subjects" who likely carried out the mosque shooting.

I've heard questions like, 'Did you know how serious it was?' And I can tell you at the time, no, but it's the moments after, Edwards said.
