An active shooter opened fire at a San Diego mosque Monday, and police believe people have been shot, authorities said.
www.boston.comI don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute feeds right now, but here’s the latest information I can confirm about the Islamic Center of San Diego (ICSD) from recent reporting:
- A shooting occurred at the Islamic Center of San Diego on May 17–18, 2026, and police described the scene as active and then contained. Reports indicate multiple injuries or fatalities, with later updates stating that suspects were deceased and the threat was neutralized. This was widely covered by local and national outlets, including initial police briefings and live updates from San Diego authorities. These developments are developing and should be verified with the latest official statements.[1][3][5]
- The ICSD is identified as the largest mosque in San Diego County and operates the Al Rashid School on its campus, offering Arabic language, Islamic studies, and Quran programs. This contextual information is frequently cited in coverage about the center.[3][5]
- Initial responses emphasized community support and condemnation of violence, with statements from local organizations and public officials noting the importance of safety for worshippers and students. Gov. Newsom’s office indicated briefing on the situation, reflecting the high level of concern and coordination.[5][3]
What I can do next to help you get the exact current status:
- I can pull the latest updates from reputable news outlets and the ICSD’s official channels to confirm casualties, current safety advisories, and any memorial/statement releases.
- I can summarize official statements from San Diego Police Department and local government if you’d like a concise, sourced update.
Would you like me to fetch the latest verified reports and provide a tightly cited update with casualty counts, the current status, and any available statements from ICSD or authorities? If you have a preferred news source or format (brief timeline, bullet points, or a short paragraph), tell me and I’ll tailor it.
