One person was killed in a shooting Monday afternoon near a mosque in northeast Columbus, Ohio, but police said the mosque and those inside were not targeted.
Columbus police received multiple reports of gunfire shortly after 2 p.m. The shooting occurred in the parking lot of an apartment complex adjacent to the mosque, according to a police statement cited by CBS News. Sgt. James Fuqua said the violence stemmed from a dispute at the apartment building and was separate from an event taking place inside the mosque.
“We want to make it clear this was not an attack on the mosque,” Fuqua said, according to the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives initially said agents were responding to a reported shooting at the mosque. An ATF spokesperson later said preliminary information indicated that people were leaving a funeral at the mosque at the time. Federal agents were assisting Columbus police with the investigation.
NBC4 reported that another person was injured, while 10TV reported that police were searching for a suspect.
