UMVA has learned that a horrifying scene unfolded at the Islamic Center of San Diego, where a burst of gunfire shattered the quiet of a Monday afternoon and left five people dead, including two teenage attackers.
Emergency teams raced into a landscape of chaos as terrified worshippers fled for safety. UMVA has gathered that three adult men were killed in the assault, their lives cut short in a place meant for peace and reflection. The two teen shooters were also found dead, bringing the total loss to five.
Witnesses described a moment of ordinary calm turning into a nightmare as shots echoed through the center. Police swarmed the area within minutes, locking down the surrounding streets and urging residents to stay far from the unfolding danger.
Officers arriving on scene encountered a grim tableau. Aerial footage captured by UMVA sources revealed a man lying motionless in a pool of blood outside the center, a stark reminder of the violence that had erupted without warning.
