An armed man ran into a mosque in London and fired a blank round before Ramadan worshipers chased him out. Police said they did not consider the incident terror-related.
A group of Muslim worshipers chased away a masked gunman from their mosque in London on Thursday night in an incident that sparked fear of a repeat of the deadly anti-Islamic terror attack in New Zealand almost two months ago.
In a statement, the police said officers were called at 10:45 p.m. BST to reports that an armed man had entered a mosque. “The man was ushered outside of the building by those inside. A gunshot was then heard,” police said. Ibraheem Hussain, 19, was at the mosque. He told the BBC:"We were upstairs in the classrooms and about 30 minutes into the night prayer a large noise went off. It sounded like a firework or maybe something heavy had been dropped, so no-one really thought anything of it.
"I was thinking 'I need to break my prayer now...I need to run because I'm going to be shot'. The guy said 'he's got a gun' and then the shot was fired.” “The suspect ran from the scene when stopped by brothers standing guard at the mosque. A shot was fired, which fortunately did not hit anyone.
