The Dark Reflection in San Diego: Hate, Violence, and a Question of Prevention The shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego has left three victims dead, including a security guard who reportedly prevented further harm inside the mosque.
Two teen suspects, both 17 and 18 years old, were found dead with self inflicted gunshot wounds near the scene.
As law enforcement investigates what they believe was a hate crime, the incident raises uncomfortable questions about access to guns, the role of social media in radicalizing youth, and the need for more proactive measures to prevent such tragedies.
