My name is Mark Remily. I'm the special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Diego Field Office.

As was reported earlier, three adults lost their lives in today's in senseless act of violence. We also know the two teenage subjects responsible are also deceased.

The FBI is determined to uncover all the facts associated with this incident and learn why this shooting occurred at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

Here’s what we know at this time after our preliminary assessment and working closely with our law enforcement partners to gather evidence.

Victim specialists deployed to the reunification center at 4125 Hathaway in San Diego. We're also having additional victim services personnel deploy from our headquarters in Washington, D.C., to assist with the families that have been impacted.

Our bomb techs have cleared the vehicles associated with the subjects.

We are in the process of interviewing family and friends of the subjects, and evidence response teams are gathering all the evidence from the scene for review. We will process everything as quickly—but as meticulously—as we can. We thank you for your patience as we work through the scene.

The FBI stands with the communities we serve, and our hearts weigh heavy for those killed and everyone who was subjected to this violence today. Shooting incidents like this not only impact those within the immediate vicinity, but everyone in the community also feels the effects.

We will continue to coordinate with our law enforcement partners and work closely with them for as long as it takes until we understand what happened. We will leave no stone unturned.

We thank the public for your continued cooperation as we continue to work through this active investigation. We ask that you send any photos, videos, or other visual information you may have to our digital tipline at fbi.gov/islamiccenterofsandiegoshooting. 

As I mentioned earlier, no piece of information is too small. Everything helps us gather all the relevant evidence we need to better understand why this horrific incident happened.
