Interior Ministry Clarifies Circumstances of Shooting Incident Involving Al-Muthanna Police Commander

The Ministry of Interior announced today, Thursday, that the shooting incident involving the police commander of Al-Muthanna province occurred due to personal disputes among some of his relatives in the Al-Shatra district of Dhi Qar province, without resulting in any human injuries or material damage. The ministry's statement clarified that the competent security agencies took the necessary legal measures immediately after the incident, registering a formal case to complete investigations and pursue those involved according to the law. The statement also noted that Interior Minister Yasser Al-Maliki ordered a thorough investigation to uncover the circumstances, causes, and surrounding conditions of the incident, and to take legal action against anyone proven to be involved. The ministry emphasized its commitment to handling the incident within legal frameworks and proper procedures, stressing that the law is above all, and that resorting to firearms to resolve personal disputes is unacceptable and exposes perpetrators to legal accountability. The ministry called on media outlets and social media platforms to exercise accuracy when disseminating information related to the incident, rely on official sources, and avoid spreading inaccurate news.
