Massacre at an Islamic center in San Diego

A severe shooting incident took place on May 19, 2026, in the city of San Diego, California, when gunmen opened fire at one of the largest Islamic centers in the city. According to reports on the Daily Islamist channel (which leans towards a distinct Islamist line), three people were killed in the incident, including a security guard of the center. It was further reported that the two attackers, aged 17 and 19, were neutralized by security forces during their attempt to carry out the act.

The DoğruHaber channel confirmed the details and stated that at the time the terrorists broke in, children and teachers were in the building and were safely evacuated from the scene. According to DoğruHaber, one of the fatalities is a security guard who worked at the location, and it is a "shooting attack" that led to the loss of life of three victims.

In parallel, the Haber Gündem channel revealed additional details about the horror, reporting that inside the attackers' vehicle and on their weapons inciting and shocking messages were found. The channel notes that local residents, including a man named Erbil Atay, described the difficult event in tears. So far, no official motives have been published beyond reports of the messages found at the scene, but the affair has sparked a broad media echo in Turkey and among Muslim communities worldwide following the revelation that the perpetrators were very young youths who carried out the murder.
