CAIR: Somali Man Shot After Leaving Mosque in Maine

Portland police still haven't released the name of the victim in Monday nights shooting in the citys Bayside neighborhood, but they have revealed that he is of Somali descent and was shot in the back after leaving a mosque on Anderson Street.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Washington D.C. is calling on state and national law enforcement authorities to investigate a possible bias motive.

Police say they have not tracked down the two suspects, described only as a black male and a white male.
