Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Five fatalities in total: three civilian victims, including a security guard, and two teenage suspects shot on the spot
- •Imam Taha Hassane stated: 'We have never experienced a tragedy like this before' and called for protecting all mosques in the region
- •The FBI assists the San Diego police in a formal investigation; the hate crime angle is being examined without official confirmation
BIASES

FRANCESTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Paris follows with concern the shooting at a mosque in San Diego, reading both an act of hatred against an Islamic place of worship and the sign of endemic violence in the United States, in a context of persistent community tensions.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Three men killed at the Islamic center of San Diego on May 18, including a mosque security agent
- •The two suspects, aged 17 and 19, found dead in a vehicle nearby, victims of self-inflicted gunshot wounds according to Police Chief Scott Wahl
