Tragic: One Indian Dead, Another Injured In Mosque Attack!

When we talk about shootings and attacks in public places or places where people will be in big numbers, countries like the US and the UK come to our minds as we hear more incidents from there. Unfortunately, the trend is spreading slowly to other countries as well and we get to hear such incidents.

Compared to other countries we have to say that the Gulf nations are free from violence and we rarely get to hear such incidents. Going against the trend a Gulf nation reported a shooting incident that claimed the lives of as many as 11 people.

Going into details a shooting was reported near a mosque in Oman. It is said that people gathered at the Mosque to offer prayers and suddenly three people reached the Mosque and opened fire. Nine people were killed including an Indian. Few others sustained injuries in the attack.

Upon receiving the information the Police reached the Mosque and gunned down the shooters. However, the shooters created havoc already by killing a few and injuring others. The injured victims are under treatment at medical facilities.

What happened in Oman came as a shock to one and all. Oman can be seen as one of the preferred destinations for immigrants for jobs and other purposes. It is no wonder that it has a big immigration population.

The Indian embassy said that in the attack one Indian died while another Indian sustained injuries. Sharing the information the embassy said it would offer all the possible assistance to the concerned families.

Talking about the attack, people reached the Mosque to offer prayers. However, things change upside down there with the arrival of shooters. The viral videos show people running in fear hearing gunshots.
