San Diego’s Muslim community picks up the pieces after mass shooting: ‘We’re just your neighbors’
The Islamic Center of San Diego, rocked by tragedy, opens its doors again to support its congregants and welcome outsiders
Teacher’s assistant Iman Khatib was administering tests at the elementary school inside the Islamic Center of San Diego (ICSD) when she heard the bangs.
She locked the classroom door, turned off the lights, silenced her phone and walkie-talkie, and crawled under a desk with her co-worker.
In the preschool classrooms nearby, three- and four-year-olds did the same – staying completely silent, hiding in corners, following the protocols they had been taught during drills.
Outside, the first-grade class was at recess when the first shot rang out.
