[NYPost] 24 hour rule in effectAn imam is in critical condition after he was shot early Wednesday morning outside of a mosque in Newark.
The imam of Masjid Muhammed was reportedly preparing to engage in the first of his daily prayers when an unidentified gunman approached him and opened fire outside the mosque at around 6:15 a.m., near the intersection of Camden Street and South Orange Avenue, according to RLS Media.
A motive for the shooting remains unclear, it is also unclear whether any students were inside the attached Clara Mohammad School-Newark at the time.
Maybe the perps were just sick of the Muezzin caterwauling?
The incident remains under investigation by Newark police, and The Post has reached out to the department for more information.
