T
he Foreign Ministry has confirmed that no Indonesian nationals were involved in the shooting incident at a mosque in San Diego, the United States, in which five were killed, including the two suspected shooters.
Two teenage gunmen opened fire on Monday local time at the Islamic Center of San Diego, killing a security guard and two other men outside the mosque, Reuters reported. The two suspects were later found dead, apparently from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, according to the police.
The Foreign Ministry has received reports from the Indonesian Consulate General in Los Angeles about the incident, said the ministry’s citizen protection director Heni Hamidah.
“The Indonesian Consulate in Los Angeles states that we haven’t received any reports of Indonesian nationals being victims in the incident so far,” Heni told reporters on Tuesday.
She added that the ministry, as well as the consulate general, would monitor the latest developments in the incident and the response by local authorities.
Afina Burhanuddin, consul for information and socio-cultural affairs at the Indonesian Consulate General in Los Angeles, separately said her office had maintained communication with the Indonesian Muslim community to ensure their safety after the shooting, as reported by Antara.
