Boy, 9, recounts deadly shooting at San Diego mosque: ‘We saw a bunch of bad stuff’

Odai Shanah details being among the children forced to huddle in a classroom during attack at the Islamic Center

A nine-year-old boy has described witnessing Monday’s deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, saying that he “saw bad stuff” and huddled in closet during the attack.

Odai Shanah, whose mother emigrated from war-torn Gaza and settled in southern California two decades ago, told Reuters that he heard a barrage of gunshots coming from outside the walls of the mosque complex, which also houses an Islamic day school.
