Was San Diego mosque shooter another Transgender?: Three people murdered, the two attackers committed suicide

There continue to be claims that the two male shooters at the San Diego mosque were involved in some type of romantic relationship, with one of the murderers being transgender. While the speculation might be completely undeserved, a concern is that the media has previously hidden that attackers were transgender. For example, in the wake of the attacks in Canada and Pawtucket, Rhode Island, public debate has once again focused on transgender murderers. But the Associated Press, CNN, ABC News, NBC News, MS Now, and the New York Times never mentioned the Rhode Island Shooter was transgender. The Associate Press never mentioned the Canadian mass murderer was transgender.

The alleged gunmen in a shooting rampage that left three people dead outside a San Diego mosque have been identified as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez, according to a law enforcement source. . . . Clark and Velasquez were found dead inside a BMW from self-inflicted gunshot wounds only a few blocks from the Islamic Center of San Diego.

Anti-Islamic writings were found in the suspect’s vehicle and “hate speech” was written on the firearms used in the shooting, according to the source. . . .

The three dead at the mosque were security guard and father of eight Amin Abdullah, who police say prevented more deaths, as well as a grocery store owner, and another man. . . .

An early New York Post Facebook post snippet vaguely referenced a “transgender individual” citing Minneapolis NBC affiliate KARE-TV, but the actual New York Post article contains no such claim or mention of gender identity.
