Police investigate Perth mosque drive-by shooting
A police ballistic team is
investigating a drive-by shooting on a mosque in the Perth suburb of Mirrabooka.
Police say a shot was fired through a window on the second floor of the
building, narrowly missing women and children.
The mosque was filled with about 400 people observing the holy month of Ramadan.
Police spokesman Ros Weatherall says the shooting happened just before 9:00pm
AWST last night.
"A witness has stated that he observed a green Jeep Cherokee four-wheel drive
parked across from the mosque and saw a flash and heard a gunshot," she said.
"Police attended and found that a shot had actually gone through the upper
window and had lodged in the wall and they will be continuing their
investigations today."
No one was injured in the shooting.
