He added that Moses was an acquaintance of the woman killed this morning, but has no known connections to the mother, 9-year-old, or journalists who were shot.
Mina said that it's unclear why the journalists were targeted.
"It's unclear why exactly they were targeted. And, you know, certainly we're going to look into that," Mina said.
