00:01Two teenage gunmen opened fire on Monday at the Islamic Center of San Diego in California,
00:07killing three men outside the mosque, one of them a security guard, before the two suspects were
00:13found dead, apparently from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Police said all of the children who were
00:20attending a day school that is part of the mosque complex, the largest in San Diego County,
00:25were accounted for and safe after the shooting, which erupted shortly before 12 noon.
00:32This is every community's worst nightmare. I want to give you some preliminary information
00:39to put a lot of minds at ease. There is no further threat. Both suspects in this case are deceased.
00:49All of the kids are safe.
00:56Our hearts go out to the families that are in this moment being notified of what has happened
01:03to their loved ones. We have three confirmed adults that are deceased at the Islamic Center.
01:12So the suspects at this point appear to have died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
01:20There were no officers involved in firing their weapons. But that is still very preliminary
01:29at this point. But that's what we believe right now.
01:32Are the suspects of two males?
01:34Two males.
01:37Do you have ages?
01:39At this point, we believe them to be 17 and 19.
01:44Scores of law enforcement officers called to the Islamic Center encountered the bodies of three
01:49men shot dead outside the building, including a security guard who Wall credited with likely
01:55having helped prevent further bloodshed.
01:57One of the deceased is a security guard that works there.
02:04And I think played a pivotal role in assisting from this being much worse.
02:13He said investigators were still piecing together details of what precipitated the shooting
02:19and how the violence transpired. Shots were also fired at a landscaper a couple of blocks
02:24away in what apparently was a separate shooting incident, though police did not say whether
02:29a connection had been ruled out. Wall said the landscaper was not injured.
02:44So let's walk away.
02:44And I think would be a good thing.
02:44We aren't going to be trying to pull out the thing.
02:45So let's talk about the fem in the building now.
02:45So let's go.
02:45So let's go.
02:45Think about thevaccine.
02:46That's what I want.
02:46So let's go.
02:46And I think about the smoke to the leaves.
02:46So let's go.
