San Diego mosque shooter studied infamous killers, dressed as them at school, records show

Court documents show 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez—co‑perpetrator in the Islamic Center of San Diego shooting—dressed up as infamous mass killers at school and kept a list of idolized attackers, including Patrick Crusius and Anders Behring Breivik. Vazquez reportedly researched mass shootings on the dark web, talked about joining the military, and had prior welfare checks and a gun-violence restraining order against him (later dismissed) as he and Cain Clark killed three people at the mosque and died in a murder‑suicide.

San Diego mosque attack tests faith, security and resilience

Two gunmen tried to storm the Islamic Center of San Diego; guardian Amin Abdullah, store manager Mansour Kaziha, and community member Nadir Awad died heroically protecting others as about 140 students and teachers sheltered inside. The attack underscores a surge in religiously motivated hate and Islamophobia in San Diego, with local leaders noting online radicalization and years of perceived indifference toward Muslim security concerns. CAIR reported record complaints nationwide, and past incidents like the Poway synagogue attack are cited as context. Officials vow increased protection for houses of worship, while community members mourn and call for stronger engagement to counter Islamophobia.

E. coli outbreak linked to The Kebab Shop beef kofta sparks California health investigation

California health officials are investigating a Shiga toxin–producing E. coli O157:H7 outbreak tied to seasoned ground beef kofta sold at The Kebab Shop across California. Nine people have been infected, with illness onset from March 27 to April 30; two cases occurred in San Diego County (one hospitalized, now released). Five people were hospitalized and two developed hemolytic uremic syndrome; no deaths reported. The Kebab Shop paused sales of grilled beef kofta nationwide and says only this product is implicated. Authorities say distribution appeared limited to The Kebab Shop while investigations continue. Consumers who ate beef kofta and show symptoms within 10 days are urged to contact a healthcare provider, discard leftovers, and ensure beef is cooked to 160°F.

FBI flagged San Diego mosque attacker as threat before deadly shooting

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.

San Diego mosque attack tests a welcoming community's resolve and interfaith bonds

Three people were killed in a mass shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, including security guard Amin Abdullah who sacrificed himself to shield students and staff as the center’s elementary school evacuated. The attack is being investigated as a hate crime amid a rise in anti-Muslim sentiment following the Gaza conflict. The ICSD has long prioritized openness and interfaith outreach, and authorities and community leaders called for stronger protection and funding for mosques. Vigils drew hundreds and a fundraiser has surpassed $3 million as the community supports victims and begins to rebuild, with the center resuming prayers and focusing on helping children move forward after the tragedy.

San Diego trims trash fees and ends Balboa Park paid parking

San Diego approved a settlement to cut the controversial trash pickup fees and end paid parking in Balboa Park by year-end. The deal reduces the monthly trash fee to $38.75 with a phased rollout and a two-year rollback, avoids a potentially costly ballot measure, and includes an independent audit of trash costs. It lowers near-term city revenue but preserves park access as the council reviews timelines and funding for the changes.
