Abdi Mohamed was struck by three bullets in his
upper and lower torso. He was said to be in critical condition on Sunday,
according to the Salt Lake Tribune. The Washington post reports that witnesses
told police Mohamed was involved in a fight with another man when the police
were called. Mohamed had picked up a broken broomstick moments before the
police arrived. It is unclear if the officers thought the teenager was going to
attack them with the object and shot him multiple times.
This is not the first time when hackers have
targeted police website against shootings in the United States. In the past,
Anonymous launched cyber attacks against the shooting and killing of an unarmed
17 yr old teen Mike Brown. The hacktivists also conducted attacks on Cincinnati
Police Department against shooting last month.
At the time of publishing this article, the website
of first Utah bank was offline while all other targeted sites were restored and
available online.
