A deadly attack took place at the Islamic Center of San Diego, the largest mosque in San Diego County, California, USA. According to reports, two teenage suspects, aged 17 and 18, opened fire inside the mosque complex during a community interaction event where non-Muslim visitors had come to learn about Islam and promote interfaith understanding.

The center is known for encouraging dialogue and harmony among different communities. The mosque complex also includes a school where children are taught Arabic, Islamic Studies, and the Quran. During the shooting, panic spread across the premises as security personnel and volunteers formed human chains to safely evacuate children and visitors from the building.

A total of five people were killed in the attack, including the two suspected attackers. Authorities rushed to the scene and launched an investigation into the motive behind the shooting. The incident has shocked the local community and raised concerns over security at religious places in the United States.
