Gunman Opens Fire on Utah Imam Outside Home During Ramadan
According to Din, a man had been waiting in a car outside his residence before opening fire as he left to attend evening prayers. “He knew my house, knew my car, knew my schedule,” Din said. He explained that he had just broken his fast with his family, located about two minutes from the mosque, when the masked gunman approached, fired several shots, and then fled.
After calling 911, Din attempted to record the suspect’s license plate. He said the gunman returned, pulled alongside his car, and fired at least eight additional rounds, striking the windshield and the front and rear seats. Din pursued the suspect briefly but later abandoned the chase.
Police have not yet apprehended anyone and have released images of a white passenger car believed to be the suspect’s vehicle, possibly damaged or with a loose part under the front passenger-side bumper.
In response, the Utah Islamic Center thanked law enforcement for their efforts and urged the community to avoid speculation. The mosque also announced that it would implement heightened security measures to protect worshippers.
