Quebec mosque shooting ‘terrorist attack on Muslims’

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday that a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, in which up to six people were killed and eight more injured, was a "terrorist attack on Muslims."


"We condemn this terrorist attack on Muslims in a center of worship and refuge," Trudeau said. "Muslim-Canadians are an important part of our national fabric, and these senseless acts have no place in our communities, city and country."

Two suspects in the shooting were arrested, a Quebec police spokesman said.

A Reuters eyewitness saw heavily armed tactical police entering the mosque. Police spokesman Etienne Doyon declined to say whether there was a gunman inside the mosque.

Police did not rule out the possibility of a third suspect who had fled the scene.
