An active shooter attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday afternoon left three people dead with two suspects found dead in a nearby car, police said, declaring the threat neutralized.

San Diego police responded to the Clairemont-area mosque shortly after noon local time following multiple reports of an active shooter. Officers arrived to find a scene that officials later described as “active but contained,” with significant law enforcement resources deployed. The two suspects were killed during the response. Law enforcement officials identified 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez as the suspects.

Multiple nearby schools were placed on lockdown as the situation developed, and police established a reunification site at 4125 Hathaway Street. Authorities asked the public to avoid the area.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom was briefed on the incident, with his office saying emergency management officials were coordinating with local law enforcement. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said he was aware of the situation and that emergency personnel were “actively working to protect the community.”

In New York, the NYPD announced it was increasing deployments to mosques citywide as a precautionary measure. “While there is currently no known nexus to NYC or specific threats to NYC houses of worship, out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD is increasing deployments to mosques across the city,” the department said.

The Islamic Center of San Diego is located approximately eight miles north of downtown San Diego.
