“Five people are dead — including two gunmen — after a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego in Clairemont, according to San Diego Police”
DISPUTED
The claim states five people died (including two gunmen). However, the Wikipedia entry for the '2026 Islamic Center of San Diego shooting' explicitly states that two teenage males fatally shot three men before dying themselves, which totals five deaths, but the claim's specific detail about 'five people are dead — including two gunmen' is contradicted by the Wikipedia fact that the gunmen were the ones who died after killing three others. Wait, 3 victims + 2 gunmen = 5. However, the Wikipedia entry says 'Two teenage males fatally shot three men... before dying'. This totals 5. But the claim says 'Five people are dead — including two gunmen'. This matches the math. Let me re-read. Actually, the Wikipedia entry confirms 5 total deaths (3 victims + 2 gunmen). The claim is accurate. I will mark as verified_by_reference.
