Revision History

Two teenage gunmen killed three men at the Islamic Center of San Diego on May 18, 2026, in what police are investigating as a hate crime. Security guard Amin Abdullah, a father of eight, died blocking the attackers from reaching the Al Rashid School inside the complex, where children were safely evacuated. The attack occurred roughly two hours after one suspect's mother called police to report her son missing with three firearms, raising questions about the gap between the warning and the violence.
