An imam was k**led and a second man was injured after a gunman opened fire close to a New York mosque. Local residents claimed it was a targetted shooting and reports said police were investigating a possible h**e crime.

The New York Daily News said that gunshots rang out at around 2pm on Saturday near the Al-Furqan Jame Masjid Mosque in Ozone Park, Queens, leaving both victims lying on the ground in their own blood just a block from the mosque.

“People being shot in the head in broad daylight is unheard of,” said Millat Uddin, a 25-year resident of the neighborhood.

K*****g people brutally, like they’re an animal. We need justice ... It seems like somebody has taken the law into their own hand.”

Tiffany Phillips, a spokeswoman for the New York Police Department, confirmed that two men in their 50’s were shot on a street in the Ozone Park section of Queens.

One of them was k**led and the second was gravely wounded, but Ms Phillips declined to provide any more information about their identities. Police have yet to identify a suspect and the motive was still unknown, she told Reuters.

Donna Jag, 49, heard the shots and thought they were a car backfiring until she left her house to find a huge crowd of distraught people on the street.

“It was chaos,” she told the News.“I was nervous. The neighborhood is quiet, but now, it’s kind of scary, right at my doorstep in broad daylight.”

The neighborhood is a mix of residences and businesses, but people of different faiths have long gotten along peacefully, she said.

Lol, I know what you're saying, but it's true. Just further proof of the effectiveness of gun free zones. The bad guy must not have read the sign.

I imagine because the two victims are Muslims that the police will leave no stone unturned. DOJ will definitely want to charge this as a h**e crime. If had been a white Christian male that some one came up behind and slit their throat the DOJ would classify it as a shaving accident.

Ain't that the t***h, Jim. Apparently there is going to be a meeting amongst the muslims Sunday night at 7pm... There already shouting that they want as much press that the priest in France had. My first thought was; well that won't be difficult ...

I found it on a few sources, but most had a disclaimer about not allowing their article to be re-posted, the U.K. didn't, so I went with that one.
