McLean Islamic Center

Edited May 18

Earlier today, we learned about a horrific shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego where three members were fatally shot by two gunmen in a violent act of hate. McLean Islamic Center security team immediately held a meeting to discuss protocols and coverage for our Center and our upcoming events. We have been in contact with the Fairfax County Police throughout the day, who have been monitoring the situation closely and have committed to increasing patrols to MIC. The McLean Islamic Center uses uniformed and plain clothed assets as part of our security footprint. We are committed to keeping our membership safe and will continue to closely monitor the news coming from San Diego.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon.
We make du'a for all our Muslim brothers and sisters that were affected. May Allah SubHanuataala grant our brothers Jannat-al-Firdous and may He give all their loved ones sabrun jameel in this difficult time. May Allah grant them justice in this world and in the akhirah inshaAllah.
