Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, started spraying bullets outside the Islamic Center of San Diego at around 11.40am PT on Monday. The teenagers were found with self-inflicted gunshot wounds outside the mosque, and images from the scene showed a red gasoline canister with a sticker resembling a Nazi SS logo, as a shotgun lay nearby. Hours before the tragedy, police say they had already been on the lookout for the two youths, after one of their mothers called officers to report that her son had run away with 'several of her weapons' and her vehicle, Chief Scott Wahl said. 'After speaking with the mom, [she] began to piece together bits and pieces of information over an extended period of time,' he noted at a news conference. 'The information that she was gathering and conveying to us began to elevate the threat level.' Wahl said the call came in at around 9.42am, when the unidentified mother started to express her concerns about her son, who she said was suicidal. The teenager had left with a friend, the mother told the police, and they were both dressed in camouflage, which Wahl said 'is not consistent with what we would typically see with someone that is suicidal.' Police referred to the car they used as a 2018 BMW X1 SUV, on their radios shortly after the incident. One officer said on the radio that the weapons apparently taken included 'a 9mm handgun, a shotgun and a Mini-14.'
