'Hate rhetoric' under investigation in San Diego mosque shooting by teen suspects, say police - BBC
Overview
Three men were killed in a mosque shooting and two teen suspects were later found dead in a car nearby; investigators say hate rhetoric was involved. Court records indicate one suspect, Caleb Vazquez, had been reported previously for idolizing Nazis and mass shooters and that police had seized his family’s guns during an earlier inquiry. The FBI and local investigators say the suspects met online and left writings expressing broad hatred toward multiple religions and races, and officials continue treating the killings as a hate crime while probing timing, motives, and possible links to other incidents. The attack occurred as Muslim communities were preparing for Eid al-Adha, amplifying fear and grief during a major religious observance observed worldwide.
