Three killed in shooting at San Diego mosque

Yesterday, two teenage gunmen opened fire at the Islamic Center of San Diego, killing a security guard and two other men outside the mosque. The suspects, Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, were later found dead in a car from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The mother of one teen called police two hours earlier to report her suicidal son had run away with three guns. All the children at the mosque’s day school were safe. The shooting happened at the largest mosque in San Diego County, just days before the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. No motive has been confirmed, but authorities found anti-Islamic writings in the vehicle. Rising violence is reminiscent of a sobering prophecy in Ezekiel 7:23: “Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.”
