The Vazquez family says exposure to hateful and extremist content online contributed to Caleb Vazquez’s radicalization and the San Diego mosque attack, for which he and co- shooter died by suicide after killing three people. They apologized to victims’ families, condemned extremist beliefs, and urged others to seek help, noting he was on the autism spectrum and may have been radicalized online.
