Teenagers behind mass shooting in San Diego rushed at mosque ‘fully armored’

Two radicalized teenagers—17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez—carried out a fatal mass shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, California, arriving fully armored with firearms registered to one of their parents. The pair killed three victims, including a security guard who alerted the center’s school to lock down, before dying by self-inflicted gunshot wounds; authorities found a manifesto expressing broad racial and religious hatred, along with 30 firearms and tactical gear during searches linked to the attackers.
