Police told AP that the shooting took place in the car park of an apartment complex that sits next to the mosque. They said it was not connected to the house of worship or to anyone inside.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said in a post on X that its agents were responding to a report of a shooting at the mosque. Federal and local authorities arrived in the area. AP said the ATF did not immediately reply to a phone message asking for more details.
Sgt. James Fuqua said an event was under way inside the mosque at the time, and that it was separate from what happened outside. He said it was important to make clear that the shooting “had nothing to do with an attack on the mosque itself”, according to AP.
