TUCSON, Ariz. — The Islamic Center of Tucson opened its doors to the community Thursday night, in the wake of ongoing issues with neighbors, that had members concerned for their safety.
It was called Salam Tucson, which is Arabic for 'peace.'
Last month, people from the Islamic Center say falling bottles barely missed them, and children playing outside.
And it's not a new problem either. Surveillance video caught falling bottles three years ago.
"Everybody's welcoming, and we just want to be part of our community, and establish good connections and ties with our neighbors, and keep it friendly and civil," Maria Molina, an ICT board member said.
Salam Tucson opened the doors to discussion on how to keep peace with their neighbors and University of Arizona students.
Residents from the incident three years ago were evicted from Sol Y Luna. Representatives with the apartment complex say they have moved forward with eviction proceedings for those involved in the most recent one.
ICT says they are continuing to work with law enforcement and city officials.
