CNN nation

Key Points:

  • Federal law enforcement warned the parents of shooter Caleb Vazquez about his concerning comments on school shootings days before the San Diego mosque attack, but his mental health treatment facility allegedly failed to intervene.
  • Vazquez was receiving treatment at Park Mental Health Treatment for depression and psychotic episodes, yet he left the facility the night before the shooting, raising questions about supervision and security protocols.
  • On May 18, Vazquez and another teenager killed three people at the mosque before committing suicide; Vazquez had a history of alarming behavior, including previous hospitalization and firearms confiscation from his father.
  • The lawsuit alleges negligence by the treatment center, while the facility denies responsibility, stating only the shooters bear accountability for the attack.
  • Authorities revealed Vazquez and co-shooter Cain Clark met online and were radicalized there, but details about their relationship and weapon sources remain undisclosed.
