Five people died Monday in a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, including three victims and two suspected gunmen who died from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds, according to police.

San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl confirmed the fatalities at what authorities described as the largest mosque in San Diego County. The two suspects were identified as males aged 17 and 19. Police responded to reports of an active shooter at the Islamic Center, located in a residential neighborhood approximately 9 miles north of downtown San Diego.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the shooting as a hate crime and has established a tip line seeking information from the public. Aerial footage showed dozens of police vehicles surrounding the area with multiple street closures as law enforcement responded to the scene.

According to the Islamic Center's website, the facility serves as both a mosque and educational campus, housing the Al Rashid School which offers courses in Arabic language, Islamic studies and the Quran. The center holds five daily prayers and collaborates with other organizations and faith communities on social causes.

Governor Gavin Newsom's office confirmed he was being briefed on the situation and expressed gratitude to first responders. Police Chief Wahl noted that teachers, students and staff at the facility were safe following the incident.

The shooting prompted a large emergency response including SWAT teams and prompted evacuations in the surrounding area. The investigation into the circumstances and motives behind the attack remains ongoing.
