   MINNEAPOLIS — A 75-year-old man was shot multiple times outside of a north   
   Minneapolis mosque Monday evening, but police said he is expected to survive.   
      
   The shooting happened at 18th and Lyndale avenues, outside of the Masjid   
   An-Nur mosque, around 5:45 p.m.   
      
   The man, identified as Abdul Kareem, was taken to a hospital with injuries   
   that were not life-threatening, police said.   
      
   Mosque leaders say Kareem's actions were nothing short of heroic.   
      
   "He's a beloved member of the community. A lot of people are very upset, very   
   angry," Imam Makram El-Amin said. "Theres a code in the Muslim community   
   across the country and across the world, that if you shoot one of us, you   
   shoot all of us and we come    
   in solidarity to stand with each other."   
      
   The Council on American-Islamic Relations Minnesota say Kareem was walking out   
   of the mosque after a prayer when he asked some people he thought could be   
   selling drugs to move along. Those guys took off in a car but came back.   
   That's when one of them    
   started shooting, hitting Kareem three times.   
      
   Police said they are "working to determine the circumstances around the   
   incident."   
      
   "All houses of worship in this city are sacred spaces and we should be   
   defending all of them," Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said. "This one   
   in particular is a source of hope for so many in this neighborhood. It's a   
   source of meeting so many    
   basic needs for many people in this community."   
      
   Just this past weekend, hundreds came out to that mosque for a resource fair,   
   helping folks with things like health care and food.   
      
   Leaders say this act of violence won't deter them from serving the community.   
      
   One person is in custody.
