New dashcam video shows the suspected San Diego mosque shooters driving through a residential neighborhood and firing several shots after their racist rampage that left three people dead.
The alleged teen attackers, Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez, had opened fire on the Islamic Center of San Diego and were minutes away from claiming their own lives when they unleashed even more violence on the community.

A neighbor who was jogging nearby with his son in a stroller described the terrifying ordeal to The California Post.
“I was getting home from taking the kid on a run, heard shots, and in another split second I heard another gunshot and the window gets blown out,” said the dad, Jose, who grabbed his son and hid behind a tree in his yard.
“The car peeled off, and there was one more gunshot in front of the house.”
Home surveillance footage obtained by USA today showed the father scrambling to take cover behind a tree before running off and eventually calling 911.
Another neighbor, who did not want to be identified, told the Post that a landscaper trimming a tree in her yard was injured in the harrowing attack.
Suspected Islamic Center shooter Caleb Velasquez livestreamed the shocking attack. Obtained by CA PostShe found the worker on the ground with blood on his head, unsure if he suffered a graze wound or another injury. She saw bullets holes in the tree, her fence and her garage.
The landscaper told her he heard one of the suspects yell, ‘Shoot that guy!”
“[The worker] is brown,” the neighbor said. “I don’t know if they saw a big brown guy to shoot.”
Shortly after the second shooting, the teenagers coordinated to kill each other, with Clark shooting Vazquez before turning the gun on himself.
