One person is killed near an Ohio mosque as mourners leave a funeral, but police say it was NOT an attack
Federal agents first said the shooting happened at the mosque itself. Columbus police sergeant James Fuqua later said it was believed to stem from a dispute at the flats. An undetermined number of gunmen opened fire, federal agents said.
Police struggled to control the crowd, with mourners spilling into the street amid arguments and shoving.
Fuqua said it was 'super important' to stress it had 'nothing to do with an attack on the mosque'.
