The two gunmen, who took their own lives after the shooting, killed three men outside the Islamic Center of San Diego. Law enforcement was already on the hunt for one of the suspects: his mother had called the police earlier in the day saying he had stolen her guns and car. Soon after, police received a call about an active shooter – and authorities say it was the same teenager, alongside an accomplice. Last year, complaints about Islamophobic reached their highest level since records began in 1996, per the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The shooting comes amid a sharp rise in hate crimes across the United States over the last decade, with attacks on synagogues, gay night clubs, and Black neighborhoods.
