Two teenagers who fatally shot three people during an attack on a mosque in San Diego, California, were “radicalized” online, authorities said during a May 19 news conference in which they credited those who were slain in the incident for putting themselves in harm’s way to save others.
Authorities disclosed that the 17- and 18-year-old assailants, who took their own lives shortly after the May 18 shooting, were believed to have met online and were radicalized by hate-related ideology on the internet.
