An imam is in critical condition after he was shot early Wednesday outside a mosque in Newark.
The imam of Masjid Muhammed was reportedly preparing to engage in the first of his daily prayers when an unidentified gunman approached him and opened fire outside the mosque around 6:15 a.m., near the intersection of Camden Street and South Orange Avenue, according to RLS Media.
A motive for the shooting remains unclear, and it is also unclear whether any students were inside the attached Clara Mohammad School-Newark at the time.

“The Imam, Hassan Sharif, has died of his wounds at University Hospital in Newark, New Jersey.”
Per the video this guy was also a TSA agent. Because that’s such a great idea. SMDH.
And to think... I can remember when it wasn't all that bad, back in the early 60's.
I hear you. I spent the first 7 years of my life in Irvington and went to St. Leo school. My parents had a luncheonette on Springfield Ave in Newark that was wiped out in the 67 riots. Once my father had paid off all the debts he incurred from the loss of his business, we moved to central NJ and wrote Newark off forever.
