Gunman kills 4 in shooting near Oman mosque

Four people have been killed in a shooting near a mosque in Muscat, the capital of Oman, according to the country’s police.

A brief statement indicated that several others were injured in the al-Wadi al-Kabir area.

Officers responded to the incident and an investigation is currently underway, as noted in Tuesday’s statement.

While the police did not provide further details, some reports suggest that at least one gunman fired an assault rifle.

“All security measures have been put in place to deal with the situation, and procedures for collecting evidence are being completed as part of the investigation,” the police statement said.

Such violence is uncommon in Oman, a strategically located nation at the entrance to the Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula, with a predominantly Muslim population.
