2 I just hope it was a personal beef. Anything else and the MSM will NEVER let it go.

6 The San Diego mosque that was targeted in a horrific mass shooting Monday made headlines for being “best known as the home to two 9/11 hijackers,” while its current imam has justified the Oct. 7 terror attacks in Israel.

Three people, including a security guard, were killed when a pair of gunmen opened fire on the Islamic Center of San Diego Monday. The suspected shooters were later found dead by suicide in a BMW.

The motive for the shooting was not immediately known. San Diego police said “the threat has been neutralized.”

8 Time, timestamped 7:04 p.m. ET:

The three adult victims killed in the attack were a mosque security guard and two staff members of the Islamic school located on the center’s grounds, according to authorities. A landscaper working nearby was shot at but was not injured.

Law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told CNN that one of the suspects in the shooting took a firearm from their parents' home and left behind a suicide note containing references to racial pride. Officials also said that hate-related messages were written on one of the weapons used in the attack, though the exact wording has yet to be disclosed.

Wahl said authorities are still investigating a motive but are treating the shooting as a hate crime “until it’s not.”

Wasn’t there something like that engraved on the guns used by Charlie Kirk’s assassin? Or maybe the Butler assassin who got a chunk of President Trump’s ear? It was one or more of them recently, I just can’t remember which…
