Footage shows shots being fired from the suspects\u2019 car, a white BMW, as a dad runs for safety while pushing a child in a stroller. <\/p>\n

The dad, Jose, described the terrifying incident to Fox 5 San Diego<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight when I got about here, I heard a loud bang. It sounded like a gunshot, but when I looked left, the second gunshot shattered the windshield,\u201d Jose said, as the footage shown the car\u2019s driver\u2019s-side window being shattered by the gunfire.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if the shooters hit a nearby landscaper, who fell as he was trimming a tree in a homeowner\u2019s yard.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was lying right here,\u201d the homeowner told Fox 5 San Diego. \u201cHe took his helmet off, there was blood, but no gunshot wound. I think maybe his helmet impact or the glass, we are not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The homeowner said the man was shaken but survived.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the second shooting, the teenagers coordinated to kill each other, with Cain Clark shooting Vazquez. Obtained by CA Post<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said that he had said a prayer on the way out of the house that morning and someone was definitely looking out for him,\u201d the homeowner added.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the second shooting, the teenagers coordinated to kill each other, with Clark shooting Vazquez before turning the gun on himself.<\/p>\n

Both shooters penned a manifesto<\/a> that indicated their bigoted views.<\/p>\n

The unhinged dispatch contains scattershot derogatory and racist views targeting a number of groups \u2014 including Muslims, Jews and gay people, among others \u2014 and described hopes to to instigate an \u201call-out race war\u201d to bring about the collapse of society.<\/p>\n

Mansour Kaziha, Nader Awad, and\u00a0security guard Amin Abdullah<\/a>\u00a0were named as the three victims of the mosque shooting. Abdullah was praised for his actions\u00a0in helping to prevent further casualties.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe do believe the security guard was able to help at least minimize the situation to the front area of the mosque,\u201d San Diego police chief\u00a0Scott Wahl\u00a0said.<\/p>\n
