Police have seized more than 30 guns and one crossbow from residences associated with the teenage gunmen who killed three people at a San Diego mosque, officials confirmed.
Mark Remily, special agent in charge of the FBI's San Diego field office, said law enforcement executed three search warrants at residences linked to the suspects, seizing numerous pistols, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, tactical gear and electronics from two of the locations.
"We've also executed search warrants on the electronic devices the subjects had with them at the time of the incident, and we're in the process of obtaining additional search warrants for devices in the vehicle they used," he said.
Remily said investigators have already found writings on the suspects after the shootings and are working to obtain additional warrants for devices recovered from the scene.
"We're still looking through electronics to give us the answers, but again, what I can say is they definitely had a broad hatred towards a lot of folks," he said.
The shootings are being investigated as a hate crime.
“Pray for victims”
Authorities believe the suspects, who have not been publicly identified beyond listing their ages as 17 and 18, met online.
Multiple media reports identified the suspects as Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18.
Both suspects died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds after they attacked the mosque and opened fire on a landscaper just blocks away.
The Islamic Centre of San Diego identified one of the victims as Amin Abdullah, a guard at the facility who was killed while trying to protect community members "until his final moments."
US Vice President JD Vance addressed the San Diego mosque attack during a White House press briefing on Tuesday, calling the violence that left two worshippers and a guard dead "reprehensible" and urging Americans to pray for the victims.
