Re “Three victims killed in Islamic center attack identified” (May 19): The police response to the San Diego mosque shootings was overwhelming. Video of the event looked like there were hundreds of law enforcement officers from every county agency at the scene with more continuously arriving. It was certainly a tragedy, but one must ask the question: How many officers are enough to handle the situation, and how did it impact police coverage in the rest of the city and county with so many officers deployed to the mosque?
