Teenage Attackers Kill 3 at San Diego Islamic Center in Suspected Hate Crime
In California, two teenage attackers fatally shot three people on Monday at the Islamic Center of San Diego, the largest mosque in San Diego County. Among the dead was a security guard, Amin Abdullah, a father of eight, who police said played a pivotal role in saving lives. The suspects, aged 17 and 19, were found dead from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds in a car near the scene. Police are investigating the attack as a hate crime. Law enforcement officials told CNN that hate speech was scrawled on one of the weapons. A suicide note that contained writings about racial pride was also found, according to the officials. The Council on American-Islamic Relations noted the attack comes as anti-Muslim bias complaints reached their highest level on record last year, with 8,683 complaints filed nationwide. This is Taha Hassane, the imam and director of the Islamic Center of San Diego. Taha Hassane: “My community is mourning. This is something that we have never expected to take place. But at the same time, the religious intolerance and the hate, unfortunately, that exists in our nation is unprecedented.”

Victims of Islamic Center Shooting in San Diego Identified
In California, authorities confirmed the identities of two other victims killed in a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday. Seventy-eight-year-old Mansour Kaziha was a longtime employee of the mosque who had called the police before he was killed. Fifty-seven-year-old Nader Awad lived across the street from the Islamic Center, and when he heard the gunfire, he ran toward the building. This comes after friends and family identified Amin Abdullah as the security guard who was killed while trying to prevent the attackers from entering the mosque. Meanwhile, the FBI says the two teenage attackers who opened fire at the San Diego mosque had met online and left writings expressing hate. According to writings obtained by the Associated Press, the suspected attackers expressed hateful rhetoric toward Jewish people, Muslims and Islam, as well as the LGBTQ+ community, Black people and women. The attackers also reportedly expressed beliefs about white people being eliminated. This is Imam Taha Hassane of the Islamic Center of San Diego. Imam Taha Hassane: “We have never expected this, even though we tried throughout the years everything we could do, applying for homeland security grants. We have a fence, security armed guards, security cameras covering every single spot inside and outside the Islamic Center. What could we do more than this?”
EditorMUMBLES: ‘My sons were shocked and scared’ — NHS doctor speaks out after racist abuse near Mumbles skate park as police launch hate crime investigation
A Swansea NHS doctor has spoken of his shock and sadness after his family were subjected to racist abuse near Mumbles Skate Park — with his sons, aged five and two, present when three teenagers on bikes and scooters directed racial slurs at them.
Dr Haroon Ali described the incident in a public Facebook post on Saturday 16 May. He said he was leaving the skate park with his two young sons when the teenagers — whom he estimated to be aged between 11 and 13 — approached and shouted a racial slur at them. When he challenged them, they repeated it multiple times before riding off gleefully.
Mumbles county councillor Will Thomas, who contacted Swansea Bay News after speaking with Dr Ali, confirmed the incident took place near a pedestrian crossing a few hundred metres from the skate park.
“My sons were both shocked and scared, as well as confused about what was happening,” Dr Ali wrote, describing the moment his young boys asked him what the teenagers had been saying and why they were shouting at them. “I just feel deeply sad about this ugly event,” he added.
Dr Ali said he was born and raised in Swansea and has worked as an NHS doctor serving the city for 12 years, with his family contributing to the community for generations. He said that in all his time in Swansea he had never experienced such an overtly racist incident — let alone one directed at him in front of his children.
In his post, Dr Ali also addressed the parents of the teenagers directly. “To the parents of these boys: I hope you are proud of yourselves for raising individuals who feel comfortable spewing this kind of vicious hatred in our community,” he wrote.
Dr Ali also said he believed certain unnamed local politicians had contributed to a rise in overt racism in the area, and called on them to stand firm in their opposition to it.
South Wales Police confirmed yesterday that officers had received a report of an alleged hate crime incident near Mumbles Skate Park on Saturday 16 May. The report is currently under investigation.
One of the first politicians to respond publicly was Francesca O’Brien MS — the Reform UK member for Gŵyr Abertawe who was this week named as her party’s shadow minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning. O’Brien, a former Mumbles councillor, described herself as “genuinely horrified” by what had happened.
“Let me be absolutely clear — racism is intolerable, unacceptable and has no place whatsoever in Mumbles, Swansea or anywhere else in our society,” O’Brien said. “Racism is not a left-wing issue or a right-wing issue — it is a societal issue, and every decent person should be united in condemning it and eradicating it wherever it appears.”
She said she had previously raised concerns about anti-social behaviour at the skate park during her time as a Mumbles councillor, and that Mumbles Community Council — which owns and manages the facility — had recommended CCTV coverage at the site following repeated incidents. She said she would contact the community council to ask for an update.
O’Brien issued a direct invitation to Dr Ali to work with her on a community response. “I would personally like to invite Dr Haroon Ali to work collaboratively with me in leading a constructive community response to this incident,” she said. “This cannot simply become another angry online debate that achieves nothing.”
Mumbles community councillor Ian Scott said he intended to raise the incident and wider concerns about the skate park at the community council’s full council meeting on Tuesday. The community council owns the skate park and has previously received reports of anti-social behaviour at the site.
The skate park itself has a long history. The land was leased from Swansea Council to Mumbles Community Council in 2021, following years of campaigning by local skaters and families. National Lottery funding of more than £270,000 was secured in 2022 — overcoming what the community council at the time described as numerous delays and legal wrangles — and the park officially opened in February 2023, costing nearly £350,000 in total. A community consultation on the park’s future development was launched last year.
The park has become a popular destination for skateboarders, BMX riders, scooter users and families. Saturday’s incident — and the anti-social behaviour concerns that preceded it — will now add a new dimension to the community council’s deliberations about its future.
Anyone with information about the incident near Mumbles Skate Park on Saturday 16 May is asked to contact South Wales Police on 101, quoting reference 2600152970. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Three Men Killed Outside San Diego Mosque in Suspected Hate Crime; Teen Suspects Also Dead
In San Diego on Monday morning, two teenagers, aged 17 and 18, shot and killed three men outside the Islamic Center of San Diego, the largest mosque in the county. The incident occurred while police were responding to a report about a missing, potentially suicidal teenager. During that time, authorities received a call about shots fired at the mosque, where they found the three male victims dead from gunshot wounds. Shortly after, a separate report came in regarding shots fired from a vehicle at a nearby location. Police later discovered the two suspects deceased from self-inflicted gunshot wounds inside a vehicle a few blocks away. Although authorities have not yet confirmed an official motive, investigators are treating the assault as a suspected hate crime due to the choice of target and writings linked to one of the shooters. The attack took place just days before Eid al-Adha, one of the most important periods on the Islamic calendar. Imam Taha Hassane, director of the Islamic Center, strongly condemned the attack, stating that places of worship should never be treated as battlegrounds. California Governor Gavin Newsom expressed horror and emphasized that acts of terror or intimidation against communities of faith will not be tolerated in the state.
