Joe Biden stands with Muslims after ‘horrific killings’ in New Mexico

Biden, in a Twitter submit after information of the fourth dying, mentioned he was angered and saddened by the killings.

“While we await a full investigation, my prayers are with the victims’ families, and my administration stands strongly with the Muslim community,” Biden mentioned in a Twitter submit. “These hateful attacks have no place in America.”

Police in New Mexico and federal businesses had been probing the killings, the newest of which occurred on Friday night.

The different three Muslim males killed within the state’s largest metropolis up to now 9 months appeared to have been focused for his or her faith and race, police have mentioned.

Two of these murdered males had been members of the identical mosque, who had been shot lifeless in Albuquerque in late July and early August. Police mentioned there was a “strong possibility” their deaths had been linked to the November killing of an Afghan immigrant.

New Mexico State Police, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service are among the many businesses serving to within the investigation.

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham mentioned in a Twitter submit late on Saturday, “The targeted killings of Muslim residents of Albuquerque is deeply angering and wholly intolerable.”
