Four killed in shooting near Oman mosque
Four people were killed in a shooting near a mosque in Muscat, Oman’s capital, according to the country’s police. Several others were injured in the incident, which occurred in the al-Wadi al-Kabir area.
Police responded promptly, and an investigation is now underway. While details are scarce, some reports indicate that at least one gunman used an assault rifle.
The police have implemented all necessary security measures and are collecting evidence as part of the investigation.
Violence of this nature is rare in Oman, a predominantly Muslim country located strategically at the mouth of the Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula.
