Teen suspects fatally shot three at a San Diego mosque in a suspected hate crime before taking their own lives. The attack is presumed to be a hate crime due to the mosque's significance and writings attributed to one suspect.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (79/100).
The claims regarding the San Diego mosque shooting are well-supported by multiple sources. The shooting by two teenage attackers, resulting in three deaths, is confirmed by several reputable sources, and the investigation as a hate crime is corroborated by evidence of anti-Islamic writings. The claim about the security guard being a father-of-eight is supported by a single source, which slightly lowers confidence. The Islamic Center of San Diego's status as the largest mosque in the county is strongly supported by multiple sources, including the mosque's own statements. Overall, the evidence strongly supports the factual accuracy of these claims.
