Coachella mosque targetted in drive-by shooting
A MOSQUE in the Californian desert city of Coachelle has been the target of a shooting.
Local authorities are investigating the shooting with initial leads pointing towards a possible hate crime.
Police were notified of shots fired just before Dawn on Tuesday and reportedly found several shots had struck the Islamic Society of the Coachella Valley building and a nearby vehicle.
The building was occupied but nobody was injured.
Authorities still don’t have a description for the shooter and are desperately searching for leads.
