Three adult victims and two teenage suspects have died after a shooting at a mosque in San Diego, according to police.
Officers were called to a suspected active shooter at the mosque on Monday, as police said a number of people had been shot.
The attack, which took place at the Islamic Center of San Diego, was being considered a \u201chate crime\u201d, Scott Wahl, the city\u2019s police chief, said.
He added that the suspects,\u00a0aged 19 and 17,\u00a0died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds\u00a0and were found in a vehicle near the mosque.
The three victims were all male, Wahl said, one of whom was a security guard for the mosque.
He said during a news conference on Monday afternoon that a landscaper was also shot at by the suspects but was unhurt.
President Trump called the incident a \u201cterrible situation\u201d.

The San Diego police department described the scene as \u201cactive but contained\u201d. Police later said: \u201cThe threat at the Islamic Center has been neutralised.\u201d
TV news footage showed more than a dozen children holding hands as they were being led out of a car park at the centre while surrounded by police vehicles.
Gavin Newsom\u2019s office said the governor of California was being briefed. \u201cWe are grateful to the first responders on the scene working to protect the community and urge everyone to follow guidance from local authorities,\u201d his office said.
Todd Gloria, the mayor of San Diego, said: \u201cI am aware of the active-shooter situation at the Islamic Center of San Diego in Clairemont and am continuing to receive updates from law enforcement. Emergency personnel are on scene and actively working to protect the community and secure the area.\u201d
According to its website, the Islamic Center is the largest mosque in San Diego County. The campus includes the Al Rashid School, which the website says offers courses in Arabic language, Islamic studies and the Quran.
The Islamic Center\u2019s website says its mission is to not only serve the Muslim population but also \u201cwork with the larger community to serve the less fortunate, to educate and to better our nation\u201d.
Five daily prayers are held there, and the mosque works with other organisations and people of all faiths on social causes.
