“The main entry way of the mosque was smashed in with broken glass splattered across a wide area in and outside. Usually, around this time, children, women, and men are present for the last prayer of the day. No one was hurt as members of the community left after offering their nightly prayer a few minutes prior to the incident,” a statement from the mosque read.
A police report has been made.
