(AP) - A chaplain at the mosque where a slain teen worshipped says members have faith in the police investigation of the fatal attack.
Joshua Salaam of the ADAMS Center said at a press conference Tuesday that police "have given us complete confidence." Seventeen-year-old Nabra Hassanen was slain over the weekend in northern Virginia.
Salaam said the community is struggling because Hassanen was beloved by so many and well-known for her kind spirit.
He said that, although the incident is not being investigated as a hate crime, some in the Muslim community may feel that it is, and they're dealing with that.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday for Hassanen. Imam Mohamed Magic asked the public to give the family and friends space to grieve in private.
