FBI probes gunshots in `isolated incident' at Meriden mosque

MERIDEN, Conn. (AP) An FBI spokeswoman says the agency believes a shooting that left bullet holes in a Meriden mosque was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the community.

FBI spokeswoman Marybeth Miklos in New Haven said in a written statement Friday that the investigation is continuing.

Several bullet holes were found Sunday inside the Baitul Aman mosque in Meriden.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy attended an event at the mosque Friday in a show of support.

Muslim advocacy leaders say they have seen a spike in threats and vandalism of mosques scattered around the U.S. and Canada following the deadly terrorist attacks last Friday in Paris.
