Kurds shoot down celebratory gunfire after coronavirus victory in Iraqi province
Several people were injured by celebratory gunfire after the Iraqi Kurdish province of Duhok declared itself free from the coronavirus.
A province in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region celebrated the apparent end of the novel coronavirus epidemic there with gunfire on Wednesday, leading to multiple injuries. Many Kurds took to social media to criticize the shootings.
“I'm baffled!” wrote Twitter user @AlendWaly, who added that if the Kurds ever win their independence, gun laws would probably be “a very good place to start.”
