MOGADISHU, May 28 (Xinhua) -- At least six people were killed and 15 others injured on Sunday after a gunman opened fire on people at a food distribution center in central Somalia, eyewitnesses said.
Mo'alim Sugaal Ali Guled, a scholar in Abud-wak, a town in Galgugud region, told reporters that the gunman only targeted poor people who were taking Iftar (breakfast) in the town, a day after Muslims began observing the holy month of Ramadan.
"The gunman, armed with AK47, killed six people mostly women and injured 15 others who were all civilians," Sugaal said. "The injured people are being treated at medical centers."
The shooter fled the scene after the attack. No one has claimed responsibility for the carnage.
