FBI flagged San Diego mosque attacker as threat before deadly shooting
TL;DR Summary
Two white supremacist attackers killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego and then died by self-inflicted gunshots. One attacker, Caleb Vazquez, had previously been flagged by the FBI as a potential threat, and authorities had seized firearms from his father a year earlier due to concerns over Nazism and mass‑shooting admiration; investigators say the attackers were radicalized online, and a large cache of weapons was found in the home amid a broader pattern of hate.
