Two teenage suspects in a fatal shooting spree at a California mosque reportedly referred to themselves as the 'Sons of Tarrant,' a reference to Brenton Tarrant, the white supremacist who killed 51 people in attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019, according to a law enforcement official cited by Reuters.
The suspects, whose names have not been released due to their ages, were taken into custody after the attack, which occurred at a mosque in the San Diego area. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said anti-Islamic writings were found in the car used by the suspects.
The investigation is ongoing, with authorities examining the suspects' online activity and possible connections to extremist groups. The incident has heightened concerns about rising anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States.
