Three men were killed in a shooting at a San Diego mosque on Monday and both suspects are dead, police said.
Both suspects are believed to be teenagers and the case is considered to be a hate crime, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said at a news conference.
The shooting happened at the Islamic Centre of San Diego, the largest mosque in the county. The Islamic Centre is about 14km (9 miles) north of downtown San Diego.
The campus includes the Al Rashid School, which the website says offers courses in Arabic language, Islamic studies and the Quran.
Aerial television footage showed more than a dozen children holding hands and being walked out of the car park of the centre that is surrounded by scores of police vehicles. The white mosque is in a neighbourhood of homes, flats and shops with Middle Eastern restaurants and markets.
Governor Gavin Newsom’s office said he was being briefed.
