60 Minutes · Police investigating shooting at Islamic Center of San Diego as a hate crime

1. 1. San Diego law enforcement is investigating a shooting at an Islamic center as a hate crime, which resulted in three victims and two suspected teenage shooters dead.
2. 2. Sam Vinograd, a former counterterrorism assistant secretary, outlined that the investigation will focus on identifying the subjects, reviewing their behavior patterns and social media, and tracing firearms to determine the motive.
3. 3. The law enforcement response time to the shooting was commendably quick at 4 minutes, but it's unknown if physical security measures at the Islamic Center mitigated the incident.
4. 4. Senior producer Anna Schecter revealed that the two deceased suspects were teenagers who sources believe took their own lives, after firing over 30 shots and also shooting at someone in a nearby yard.
5. 5. The FBI is treating the incident as a hate crime due to its location at a large mosque that also houses a school and cultural activities, defining a hate crime as bias-motivated against protected categories.
6. 6. Security has already been significantly tightened at houses of worship, as evidenced by a trained security guard who confronted the threat and was possibly killed, potentially preventing a worse outcome.
