A Muslim man was shot outside a mosque in Rhode Island as he set up a table to sell Islamic clothing on Friday morning.
He was bending down to arrange his table outside the Islamic Center of Rhode Island around 11.40am when a suspect in a vehicle opened fire on him and quickly fled the scene.
The man, who remains unidentified, sustained a non-life-threatening injury and was rushed to Rhode Island Hospital for treatment, according to authorities.
Imam Abdul-Latif Sackor said that the shooter lingered across the street for approximately 20 minutes before discharging a gunshot.
He believed that the shooting was a targeted attack, not necessarily directed at the victim, but rather aimed at the mosque and the Muslim community.
As of Friday afternoon, the suspect has not been identified, and there have been no arrests made in connection.
'I think it was more directed towards the Muslims,' Sackor said. 'We've been here for years and we haven't had this type of issue until recently,' he added.
Sackor told the Boston Globe that the suspect, who wore glasses and a mask, had sat in a sedan with Massachusetts license plates in the parking lot across the street from the mosque.
He and others inside the mosque had assumed that the person was early for the prayer services, which was scheduled at 11.30 am.
Providence Police Major David Lapatin said the victim is affiliated with the mosque and regularly sells clothing on Fridays at 39 Haskins St.
Sackor said the shooting was captured on camera, although there have been no surveillance footage released in connection with the incident.

Providence police were not considered the best and believed to be very crooked due the high level of mafia living there (especially Cherry hill section)
Providence, Rhode Island
Federal Hill
I lived in the CT a few miles away from the RI boarder so if I messed up the section of providence, I apologize.
What goes around, comes around.
This is how they treat others.
They have nothing to complain about when it comes to payback.
Whiteale = white male
white-in-gale? That is what I thought you said
There was a rash of Muslims murdered in Albuquerque NM not to long ago. The leftist government pigs treated the whole city to lectures about hate crimes and such. Turned out to be inter-sect Muslim violence when the killer’s daughter married the wrong kind of Muslim.
Not sure what white-in-gale is, but it’s Friday night and I stopped at the bar & grill around the corner and had an excellent white ale.😀
“Not even a description of the type of gun?”
BB gun?
Why sell on the street when you can order Muslim clothing from Amazon?
Did you mean Federal Hill? Or Cherry Hill in Johnston? RI. certainly has a tradition of corruption. That’s understood
My dad told me the story. In the seventies a good friend of his was drinking in a bar in cherry hill. He came out later in the evening and found his car stolen and went back into the bar asked the bartender for a phone to call the cops about his car. The bartender asked him not to make the call and wait in the bar with free drinks. About an hour or so later the car was returned to the front of the bar. The bartender said nobody steals from cherry hill.
I must of heard the story location wrong and been spreading it was providence. Not a town I know the best. I will remember the story as from Johnston. But still the mafia doesn’t like crap to happen where they live.
