At least one gunman is dead after a shooting Monday at the Islamic Center of San Diego, a report from NBC News indicated.
UPDATE: CNN is reporting that law enforcement sources told them two shooting suspects, ages 17 and 19, were found dead “inside a vehicle” at another location. The number of innocents killed is still unclear. A security guard is dead and perhaps two other non-suspects.
