  "account": "A single individual was killed in a shooting incident on Monday in Ohio, US authorities have stated, clarifying that the incident was not an attack on a nearby mosque. Initial reports had suggested a federal agency was responding to a shooting at the mosque in Columbus, Ohio, but police quickly refuted these claims. Sergeant James Fuqua of the Columbus Police Department told reporters that the dispute occurred within an apartment complex, involving multiple individuals. He emphasized that the shooting had no connection to the mosque, stating, \"This shooting had nothing to do with an attack on the mosque itself.\" A representative from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) office in Columbus had previously reported that agents were responding to a shooting at the mosque, citing preliminary information that funeral attendees were exiting the Alrahma Mosque when shots were fired by an undetermined number of individuals. One person has been confirmed deceased in the incident.",
  "summary": "A US federal agency said agents were responding to a mosque shooting before police clarified the incident was unrelated to the site.",
