A shooting recorded this Monday at the Islamic Center of San Diego, the largest mosque in the county, left at least three people dead and caused a massive police mobilization in the Clairemont neighborhood.

The fatal victims are three adult men, including a security guard and two members of the Islamic school staff that operates within the religious complex, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl reported in a press conference.

The two suspects in the attack, preliminarily identified as teenagers ages 17 and 19, died from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
